[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Who really cares about the silly PARCC scores?  At Brent they're barely discussed.  No real test prep is done.  The focus for the kids is elsewhere - on the arts program, happy classroom experiences, pullout groups and targeted interventions to help teachers differentiate effectively, field trips, music lessons, chess club, sports teams, scouts etc. etc. The school's at-risk population is in the low single digits these days.  PARCC scores are for poor kids. Several other Hill elementary schools will be in the same situation within five years.[/quote]

The point is and has been said already is that there are many schools that don’t prep for PARCC (Inspired, Mann, Lafayette etc) and rich white kids should still perform well organically, but Brent is amongst the lowest with white student performance. What does pointing out that the at risk population is in single digits? Do you think that is a positive??? PARCC is for poor kids? Really? Well what are you doing to do when your 3 scoring PARCC kid can’t cut it at Basis or can’t get into Walls?[/quote]
