[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]West is creeping up - the OP asked for great - not getting there.[/quote]

If OP is asking for only great EOTP past K, I'd say only

Ross
Shepherd
Brent
Maury
LT

In that order. I give Shepherd edge over Brent because they have IB program and perform the same with triple the low income students.[/quote]

There's no reason to compare them but since you did, Brent's scores are actually higher[/quote]

You're right. For 2014 CAS Brent had 2 more overall points than Shepherd. Shepherd had three times the FARM students. Ross also outperforms Brent with more Econ diversity. I don't know why you have to be so defensive about one person's personal opinion. Didn't put down Brent. I would send my kid there in a heart beat. I'm not at either school but have done a lot of research for lottery purposes and I stand by my statement. Shepherd is an IB school, has middle/high school option (less attrition), and performs better in m my opinion taking into account Econ disadvantaged.

I was answering the question in my opinion. I'm glad to hear that it's growing more popular with IB families. To another PP, as someone that lives lower NW it's a lot easier to get to Shepherd for us than Brent.[/quote]

No defensiveness here, my kid doesn't attend either school - but why are you referring to 2014 scores when 2015 scores have been released? [/quote]

Not interested in the usual DCUM pissing match but here are the facts:  57 percent of Brent 3-5 graders were Level 4-5 in math vs. 39 percent at Shepherd.  Similar results for ELA, with 68 percent of Brent testing at Level 4-5 vs. 47 percent at Shepherd.  Take it for what it's worth.[/quote]

Math:  12.1 percent at Brent are Level 5 vs. 5.9 percent at Brent.  
ELA:  16.8 percent at Brent are Level 5 vs. 5.2 percent for Shepherd

NP. Not trying to get in pissing match?! Eh, I would look at the last 5 years and not one year and compare. Also, how many kids are testing in each school. I have to admit, I've always found it fascinating that Brent doesn't score like JKLM considering they have same demographics. 64% white, 21% black, 7% Hispanic and 13% FARM and 6% Sped. Shepherd is 78% black, 8% white, 9% Hispanic and 34% Farm, 9% Sped.[/quote]
