[quote=Anonymous]It's not about getting a good PARCC score! It's about attending a school where the classes are engaging to my DCs, where the material taught is at their level and advanced coursework is available to them. Where they have electives and activities that they like, and where the teaching in non-PARCC subjects is strong as well. If MacFarland is providing that to your DC, I'm glad to hear it. But to say that a school is just as good because kids get the same PARCC scores is to close your eyes to how the school and the kids are doing in most of the subjects, as well as anything else such as the pedagogical approach, the school culture, the after-school options, etc. It's bizarre IMO to not care about that stuff. I genuinely wish you the best at MacFarland. But I don't lack confidence in my children's ability to thrive just because I'm trying to choose a school that will engage them at their level and suit their interests.[/quote]
