[quote=Anonymous][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]

And I am confident that you couldn't be bothered to look at the Pathways data because it would have taken you 15 seconds to confirm the data reported.[/quote]

Teo posters in the thread clearly explain that the Pathways data is either wrong or not intended to capture the same figure you are using it for (i.e., that student count is intended to mean something other than how many kids were in the grade in 24-25; indeed, given that a different number of kids were in all of these grades in 25-26 and yet there is only one “student count” given, I suspect it is just that you are misinterpreting the meaning of student count.
