[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] So…genuine question. If you look at parcc scores for white kids at EH they do tremendously well. How do you square that? [/quote] Is the way this poster who keeps talking about 'on grade level' determining grade level by using CAPE scores? While not an entirely useless metric, it is also not the best, for many reasons. And yes, if you divide the sub groups out at the various middle schools, the results are pretty stark, which I would argue is not a good thing in the big picture, but it does reassure parents who are worried there is not a cohort of high achieving kids. I am sure there are a lot of kids above grade level who leave for charters or privates, but as somebody who is in a DCPS middle school, I can confirm there are a lot of kids in that cohort at the public schools as well. The number of kids in middle and high school in DC public schools is higher now than it has been in awhile. There is not only one spot for kids who want to work/try hard in school, which is a good thing![/quote]
