[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]So where is the achievement gap below 40 or 50%?[/quote]

At Oyster-Adams, the black/white achievement gap in ELA is 12%; however it’s 32% in math.[/quote]

There is essentially no black/white achievement gap at Ross:  4% in ELA and 0% in Math.  DCPS needs to bottle and replicate whatever is going on at Ross![/quote]

I wonder—are the black kids at Ross high SES or something?  Since we know a lot of this boils down to SES differences?[/quote]

Probably, [b]but aren’t most of the black kids at Janney, Key, Mann, Murch, etc...also high SES[/b]?  Those schools all have much larger achievement gaps than Ross.[/quote]

No.  I have 3 kids at Janney.  The black kid population is probably only 25% middle to high SES (and some of this 25% is black kids adopted by white neighborhood families).    The rest (75%) of the black kids are out of boundary 
and lower (to very low) SES.  And because it's Janney the the gulf between high and low is HUGE.    To buy in AU Park now you have to afford 1.2 million+.  The families in the younger grades are all really wealthy--they're no longer even dual feds, they're law partners. 
The economic gulf between them and the black kids coming from across the park is massive.  [/quote]
How did so many black kids oob get into Janney if the school  crowded? You know Janney well and can make educated guesses for that school, but since the other schools are only miles apart, how about: " I suspect the same goes for Key, Mann and Murch". Or did most white parents with adopted black kids end up in Janney?
I'd say Murch has lots of OOB kids and the huge gap reflects it.[/quote]
