[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]i think the above poster is defining only 5s as good above grade level scores in math.  5 in math is reasonably hard to achieve.  kids scoring high 4s are also good at math.[/quote]

What is so hard to understand?  4 is on grade level and 5 is above.  It’s written in black and white.  There are lots of students who get 5’s, just not at the middle schools we are talking about.

It’s unbelievable that many on here exemplify the typical low standards in DC.  Just own it.[/quote]

I think the point is that a PARCC/CAPE test taken once/year is not the best way to get a full picture of a school, or the students at the school. General trends, sure - if a school has no students performing above a 3 that is a red flag. But the high performing kids you are talking about - lots of kids don't see the point in stressing over a test that has no impact on them directly and may get a range of scores. I wish DC would publish MAP or iReady data that actually shows real time growth and achievement to demonstrate what the kids are learning. [/quote]
