[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]What DC statistics have white kids at the 60th percentile at Ross, Janney, and Lafayette?? Those appear to be completely made up numbers. PP please share where you found those stats.[/quote]

It’s not scores it’s DC report card of how the white students at Lafayette perform compared to white students across the city. Not just raw 4+ PARCC but also growth I believe as well. Have you all never looked at DC school report cards?[/quote]

No kids at WOTP schools. But if you are at the top of the PARCC there is not much room to go up.  If you are at the bottom of the barrel, then easy to go up and lots of room.  That’s why “growth” is DC’s way to make poor performing schools look better on paper than they actually are.  [/quote]

Not true when you look at raw scores of white kids in schools mentioned above. They all score high 80%-mid 95% so it’s raw scores compared to white peers across the city. [/quote]

DP. But why would these be better numbers than the raw scores? Who frankly cares if the raw scores are at an acceptable level to you? Or worse, if this weird weighted data artificially inflates scores at some schools. It seems as arbitrary as USNWR and like cherry-picking the data you want to see.[/quote]

I will wager DC School Report card system (a system mandated by law) is a lot more reliable than US News data points.[/quote]

Lol, as a District government employee, I’d wager the exact opposite. And all of these secret algorithms are pretty pointless when you have actual data to compare, even if it’s three years old at this point.[/quote]
