[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]They're not going to shut down Lee.  They are really reluctant to shut down a school that's popular and has some good metrics.  More likely they'd give a conditional continuance with a plan of improvement.

Cynically, school shutdowns are something we're only willing to do to low-income kids.  High-income parents won't tolerate it, and they feel entitled to have the taxpayer give them a school with cr*p test scores if that's what they want.[/quote]

How is it that no one considering the sample size of the students who were being tested and when the tests were administered, when using this metric for how *well* a school is meeting the needs of all populations? It is my understanding that the students who participated in PARCC were fewer than 50. In 2019.

What I want to see is every DCUM poster submit their ACT/SAT scores and how they did in college. What did your standardized tests predict about your future success?

Do not let the scores speak for themselves. Let the families and their children do that. And let the families of color speak loudest.

FWIW, I am a POC and unwilling to identify how I interact with the school.[/quote]

What speaks loud to me is that a school almost 10 years in operation has so few older kids at all.[/quote]

This test was when the school was 4 years old I think?[/quote]

The test scores are old, but enrollment stats are available for each year.  For SY 2021-22, there were 18 4th graders, 13 5th graders, and one 6th grader.  Compared to numbers in the 30s and 40s for ECE and Primary.
