[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]141 5th graders to 58 11th graders?

For a public school?

Wow. [/quote]

60% attention rate.
 
Range is going to be anywhere between 40-60%.

DCI 4-5%

Latin - I would guess also similar under 5%.

Huge contrast [/quote]

Latin has a much higher retention, but they also backfill at every grade level. First number is number of students enrolled, number in parentheses is the number of students who continued on from the prior year.

SY19-20 5th grade class: 95 > 94 (92) > 91 (89) > 96 (91) > 94 (77) > 89 (89)
SY20-21 5th grade class: 95 > 96 (94) > 95 (95) > 97 (93) > 95 (78)
SY21-22 5th grade class: 96 > 93 (91) > 100 (93) > 98 (96)
SY22-23 5th grade class: 99 > 99 (95) > 98 (97)
SY23-24 5th grade class: 97 > 97 (96)[/quote]

Same data for DCI.

First number is number of students enrolled, number in parentheses is the number of students who continued on from the prior year.

SY19-20 6th grade class: 254 > 260 (242) > 249 (241) > 247 (211) > 208 (205) > 203 (196)
SY20-21 6th grade class: 262 > 258 (248) > 268 (249) > 241 (222) > 228 (227)
SY21-22 6th grade class: 259 > 246 (235) > 246 (238) > 240 (201)
SY22-23 6th grade class: 272 > 257 (253) > 247 (239)
SY23-24 6th grade class: 274 > 262 (259)[/quote]

If we make the simplifying assumption that all Latin and DCI attrition comes from the original class, we get retention rates from original class as follows:

BASIS retention through 8th: 59-73%
BASIS retention through 9th: 42-43%
DCI retention through 8th: 86-91%
DCI retention through 9th: 70-74%
Latin retention through 8th: 91-96%
Latin retention through 9th: 72-76%[/quote]

Now provide the percentages for kids below grade level at Latin and DCI that are socially promoted every year.

Just because kids don’t leave doesn’t mean the school is any good.

Meeting or exceeding on CAPE, SY24-25 8th grade

BASIS ELA: 84%
BASIS Math: 79%
DCI ELA: 58%
DCI Math: 41%
Latin ELA: 72%
Latin Math: 63%

Citywide, the highest meeting or exceeding percentages were BASIS, Deal, and Latin for ELA and BASIS, Center City Congress Heights, Deal, and Latin for Math.[/quote]
