[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]the earlier poster said the % staying on for the feeder middle school is reflective of the overall mix of abilities at the elementary school.  i think once you have over 1/2 the kids staying thats mostly right.[/quote]

No it’s not an overall mix.  It’s the kids who are lower performing mixing in with lower performing kids from other schools.

Just look at math scores.  Almost 1 in 5 kids at Maury above grade level in math.  EH 1 in 50 kids.  That is a huge difference of 10 fold.[/quote]

This isn’t true at LT. It’s true that the out flux to Basis/Latin is disproportionately kids who are at least on grade level. However, once the kids are in 5th, the kids going to SH are representative, if not slightly above the 5th grade average. A few kids go private, and a handful of kids go to “good” middle schools, but most of the other kids are heading to schools UMC families don’t use. [/quote]

LT loses high performing kids in the upper grades in 4th and 5th.  In fact, stats at the school are not good, much worst then Maury.

Only 1 out of 10 kids above grade level in math.  That’s only 10% which is then diluted with kids leaving in upper grades so really the percentages of high performing kids going to SH is likely in the low single percentages.

The CAPE is not a good enough test for the difference between 4 and 5 to be meaningful. I’d look at the 4 + 5 data and, yes, LT has much better ELA stats than math stats consistently.[/quote]
