[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I don’t know why the growth scores are lower than some other schools. I also don’t  understand what growth means on the DC Report Card. There are no detailed explanations provided. I think achievement is really important in determining how well a school is performing. Sela is doing well there compared with other language immersion charters. Our children’s’ learning needs are also met. If we were having a poor experience on that front, we’d certainly consider moving to another school. But as of now, we don’t think another charter would meet our kids’ academic or social needs better. [/quote]

You can view the technical guide here. It has explanations of each metric. Basically growth is how each kid did on there CAPE compared to how that specific kid did last year, and then compared to how kids in the city did at large.  The only way for Sela to have such poor growth scores while some kids are doing fine is for other kids to have almost no growth at all.

Sela's math scores are also really low, they get almost no report card points for math. [/quote]
