[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]For the record, 10% of kids at Eliot Hine are testing proficient in math.

The My School profiles have what might charitably be called a glitch where they mark sections as “n &lt; 10” when what they mean is “data suppressed.” If you add the students scoring 1-3 on the My School profile, you will see they do not sum to 100%. [/quote]

Are you saying that it's not actually less than 10 kids? So like they might have had 15 kids scoring a 4, but chose to suppress the data anyway?

Those percentages are percentages of kids who took the PARCC test. Anyone who took the MSAA, or who sat out the PARCC for whatever reason, wouldn't be included. So it's 10% of the kids who took the PARCC, which is smaller than the total reported population of 317.

Yes. Just compare the DCPS profile to the My School profile. The percent of students scoring 1, 2, and 3 are the same, and they sum to 90%.

If 90% of test takers scored 1, 2, or 3, as My School reports, what percent scored 4 or 5? The answer is 10%.

I believe what happened here is that less than 10 students scored 5s, but more than 10 scored 4. If OSSE reported the number of 4s, a person like me could easily compute the exact number of students scoring 5. Which would raise privacy concerns. So they suppress the exact number of students scoring 4. [/quote]
