[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]which charters fare better then the top jklm publics?  some may be better "fits" smaller rooms etc but which ones would actually perform better?

Take away JKLM which has zero FARM and charters kill DCPS.  Also charters for 6th grade and up are better than DCPS no matter location.[/quote]

Maybe I missed something.  Which elementary charters have better scores than Oyster which is 29% FARMs and dual immersion?  [/quote]

Oyster is included in JKLM as are both "M" schools.  Calm down.[/quote]

I disagree with your assertion that Oyster should be lumped with that group of schools.  While it is WOTP (grades PK-3rd) and boasts good tests scores, Oyster is way more racially, economically, culturally and linguistically diverse than JKLM.  IMO, being a part of that relatively homogenous group of schools is not something that Oyster should aspire to.  While there is always room for improvement, Oyster really is in a class of its own.[/quote]

Eh...I just saw Oyster's breakdown by race and income.  Not impressed at all.  It's fair to say the 50 "advanced" white kids are artificially inflating the school's overall numbers.  Was very disappointed to see the ELL, FARM and Black students are struggling.[/quote]

What are you talking about?  The black students at Oyster have the following advanced/proficient scores: 71.9% in reading and 81.3% in math.  While there is certainly room for improvement, I fail to see how those scores indicate that black students are “struggling.”  For that, look at Tyler, Yu Ying, Stokes and every other dual immersion school (and most non-immersion schools) in DC.  Most schools in DC would give their right arm to have their students achieve similar scores.  Further, those solid scores have absolutely nothing to do with the fact that Oyster is still the most racially, economically, culturally and linguistically diverse school in Ward 3 (and most/all of DC).  Please rely on facts and not your silly opinion.[/quote]

Oyster has 32 black students who took the test out of a total school population of ~400.  So less than 10% in a city where the AA population is approximately half.  Oyster's demographics look a lot like JKLMM so their scores should be high.[/quote]
