[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]While I fundamentally disagree with what the poster above is saying about needing predictors before considering whether a child will succeed at immersion, I am concerned that MV's record on educating kids who are at-risk, special needs or black are actually not any better, and in some cases, significantly worse than Burroughs:

(b) MV scores - meet or exceed expectations, 2018-2019 data (/b)
black kids -  22%  ELA; 22% Math
At risk kids - 19% ELA; 24% Math

(b) Burroughs Scores - meet or exceed expectations, 2018-19 data (/b)
Black kids - 25% ELA, 31% math   
At risk kids - 18% ELA, 28% math

the same data (http://results.osse.dc.gov/school/3065) set also shows that white kids at MV perform worse than other white kids in the District (63% ELA and 69% math at MV vs. 85% ELA and 79% Math - DC averages). Sigh. I don't know if that's an immersion lag or what.  :?:

this all just makes me feel horrible, like a bad parent, a bad human for participating in a totally unfair system that is failing the majority of the District's students.

Of course it’s worst than Burroughs because Burroughs has a majority at risk and uses more of their school’s and teacher’s resources, time, services etc.. on these kids at the expense of the higher performing kids.

The achievement gap has not significantly budge in over 10 years.  What makes you think that it’s going to be significant in DC which has one of the highest dollar per pupil allocated in the country yet is always at the bottom 1/3rd of the list in academic performance compared to other states?

Issues that are prevalent in poor families (stable family, role models, hunger and housing insecurity, mental issues, trauma, and on and on) need to be addressed as a society and early is what will help.[/quote]
