[quote=Anonymous]OK, right now, go to the DCPS website, click on school profiles, select ward 6, and click on Brent, L-T, and Maury. Then click Compare Now.

As far as test scores go, L-T does BETTER than Maury. (If that's what Maury proponents mean by "turned around," I'll take L-T as is, thanks.) In reading, L-T actually has more students scoring at the advanced level than Brent does!

(And before anyone cries cheating: Yeah, there were suspiciously high erasure rates in 2010. But L-T was NOT on the list of seven DCPS schools (& four charters) where cheating was identified in 2012. Also, while I don't have the 2010 scores readily available, I believe the 2012 scores (as well as 2011's) were noticeably lower than the suspect 2010 scores, which on the one hand seems to confirm the 2010 cheating allegations, but OTOH suggests the current scores are legit.)

Also, I attended the school play at L-T tonight, and as a bunch of 5th-grade boys courteously & industriously set out an extra row of chair to accommodate the standing-room-only crowd, I thought back to a PP's description of the older kids at L-T (what were they called? teen moms and would-be thugs?) and had to laugh at the wonderful disparity between the scary image on DCUM of the older students at L-T and the utterly wholesome reality in front of me.[/quote]
