[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Can you actually just list all the schools by their scores, instead of seeing them just sorted by star?

And, I'm confused about how the breakdown of the score by demographic is achieved. For our school All Students is higher than the actual score; also various demographics have their own scores but they don't seem to average to All Students - ?[/quote]

There is weighting involved in the subgroups (e.g. I know that students with disabilities are weighted 2x as much as ELLs or students with disabilities).

For the details you need to dig into the Framework Technical guide https://osse.dc.gov/sites/default/files/dc/sites/osse/publication/attachments/2018-19%20DC%20School%20Report%20Card%20and%20STAR%20Framework%20Technical%20Guide.pdf[/quote]

Wait what? They’re assigning more value to some students?[/quote]

My understanding is that one of the inputs to the STAR rating is a student groups score, which is a required element in the ESSA. In DC the student groups are: All Students, At-risk students , English Learners , Students with disabilities snf Race/ethnicity

Far more detail is in the Technical Guide, pg 60.

Bottom line - the STAR ratings are more complex than just straight PARCC proficiency and growth scores. Whether they are more useful, time will tell.[/quote]
