[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]My kid scored in the 99th percentile across the city and was the only one to get fives in his school. I still think it's a terrible test. Most of his smart, accomplished classmates didn't even get "on grade level" (4s) which they clearly are. It's a flawed test.[/quote]

Not a fan of PARCC (way too long, results not immediate and so not pedagogically useful), but it doesn't test how smart or accomplished a kid is.  It attempts to test whether they have learned a set of agreed upon concept and skills for that grade level (common core). If you school isn't teaching this common core or if students at your school aren't learning it, that's a problem for the school and for the kids.  Perhaps the PARCC doesn't test it well and the kids are learning it at your school?  But then why do kids in JKLM do so well when their schools that do absolutely NO test prep?

Our JKLM teaches the required curriculum.[/quote]

Same.  But no test prep at all.  [/quote]
