[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I am surprised by how badly Eliot-Hine performed. There are a lot of threads on DCUM trying to convince me that EH is the equivalent of SH, which this data does not support in the least... SH gets 84%ile (more or less equivalent to Hardy) and EH gets 21st%ile.

EH was substantially behind SH in both scores (basically SH is +20% in every measure) and growth (SH above average for both; EH below for both).

EH also had 35%(!!!) of students chronically absent.

I genuinely do not mean this to bash EH and I am glad it is getting increased neighborhood buy-in, but this Report Card presents a totally different reality than DCUM. EH actually came out behind Jefferson, but those are much closer and seems to be more about how you weight student achievement vs growth.

I was also surprised by EH. Those growth scores are… not good. In the context of having a good chunk of kids with room to grow, it suggests the school is not doing a great job. Hopefully it’s just an anomaly. [/quote]

I don't think EH is doing a great job educating kids; it's just doing an ok job of attracting and retaining more kids who came in prepared.

The JOW scores show the challenges of a renovation. I think the school will rebound, but it doesn't bode well for Brent.
