[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]From this thread, TR sounds awful: https://www.dcurbanmom.com/jforum/posts/list/1108405.page[/quote] OP here, is this true that TR is bad? They get great ratings…[/quote] That's because the bar for ratings is super low. If you control for income and look at the upper grades' test scores, you'll be alarmed.[/quote] I am no apologist for TR but you've unintentionally stumbled on one of the challenges of measuring success at TR. So very many kids peel off in 3rd, 4th and then in HUGE quantities in 5th that the demographics of the upper grades are very different than younger grades. To the extent that there are enough to report, the white, non-FARMS scores are on par with other schools dominated by that demo. The problem is that (1) most of the upper ES grades are not like the lower grades or broader TR population and (2) it says very little about TR's ability to succeed when these kids do well on tests.[/quote]
