[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Wow. Only 13 kids stayed for 5th grade at Brent. Anyone pretending the current 4th/5th grade combo has not been a failure is crazy. What is that principal thinking?[/quote]

a huge number of the rising 5th graders got into BASIS.  [/quote]

21, to be precise. Wow.

Yu Ying sent 10 to BASIS. All other schools n<10.[/quote]

Also, Brent is in a renovation so kids are being bussed pretty far away (maybe Columbia Heights?) for a couple of years. That may have led to an even bigger number of kids who jumped ship.[/quote]

They lost a significant number of kids at every grade level, which is different from previous years. Their overall enrollment is down this year, certainly in large part to the renovation. [/quote]

Numbers don't lie. Some certainly attributable to renovation but JOW also in swing space this year.

Brent: 13 of 66 stayed for 5th 19.6%
Maury: 67 of 92 stayed for 5th 72.8%
JOW: 42 of 60 stayed for 5th 70%
Tyler: 55 of 72 stayed for 5th 76.4%
Amidon: 47 of 65 stayed for 5th 72.3%
Watkins: 75 of 98 stayed for 5th 76.5%
Payne: 36 of 48 stayed for 5th 75%
Ludlow: 48 of 77 stayed for 5th 62.3%[/quote]

That LT number is way off. That grade was tiny. Definitely didn’t have over 25 kids in a class… more like 18. Where did you get the denominators from?[/quote]

From the Edscape pathways data. Are you suggesting you know more than DC does? According to the data there were 77 kids in 4th grade in 2024-5. Of those, 48 stayed for 5th grade at Ludlow. Just as I said i my post.

Maybe, just maybe, you are confused? [/quote]

I am confident that you are either misreading the data or the data is wrong, because my daughter is in that class and in the current 5th grade and I absolutely assure you that there were not 77 4th graders at LT last year. Feel free to check the audited OSSE data, which will confirm that. There were 65.[/quote]

The Pathways numbers don’t match the OSSE audited numbers for many schools. But they actually explicitly say those are the numbers they used. Either that number represents something else — all students in that grade in either half of the data set (so looking forward and backwards, counting kids who left at the end of 4th and who came at the beginning of 5th as if they are all one class) — or the data is just wrong. The OSSE audit data is literally the official source cited and the numbers don’t match, so something is definitely up.[/quote]
