[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]It is mostly a numbers issue.  Deal is a lot larger than Hardy.  [/quote]

Nope, not just numbers but also percentages.  Deal much higher esp in math.

Even if 1/2 Hardy kids go to MA, most will not be high performers and small numbers that it won’t make a dent in the stats.[/quote]

You’re just wrong. Over half of Hardy students chose MacArthur this year. I’m sorry that your doomsday predictions won’t come true. Perhaps you will need to find a new hobby [/quote]

You obviously are full of BS and don’t know the data.  I in contrast have looked at the data.  Data doesn’t lie.

High performing kids above grade level.

Hardy 180 8th graders.  If 90 went to MA
ELA 22% = 20 kids 
Math 5% = 5 kids

Number above won’t make a dent in a school with over 600 kids or however many currently.

Deal  480 8th graders 
ELA 41% = 197 kids
Math 19% = 91 kids

It has always been Deal that had significantly higher numbers and percentages of high performers and contributed the bulk of these cohort of kids to JR, not Hardy.[/quote]

Your numbers are wrong.

For Hardy, 5s are 35% and 11%.  So, correcting...
If 90 went to MA
ELA 35% = 32 kids 
Math 11% = 10 kids

-- You are assuming all Deal 9th graders go to J-R?  Wut?

-- You fail to count the non-Hardy high-scoring students going to Macarthur that are not from Hardy.  Surely there are a few.

-- Future 9th graders at Macarthur don't need to 'make a dent' in the full 600 students at the school.  The makeup of the current Sr and Jr classes is pretty irrelevant to them. What matters for them is the 200 students in their grade, with some impact from the grade ahead and behind.[/quote]

Not sure where you are getting your data but mine is from DC report card.

If yours is a legitimate source and more recent then you also know the numbers at Deal and MA which you have not shared.

No, not really any significant high scoring, above grade level kids at MA, 5% in ELA and <1% in math.[/quote]

My source is the information Hardy distributed with this year's scores, so the most current data and, no, I do not have Deal's or Macarthur's latest data.

You, and some other peopple talking about Macarthur, act like the past data has great meaning when the school has only been open 2 years, and Hardy has only fully fed to it for 2 months.

Past data is not indicative of the future, which is why all this "omg, the data!  title 1!  etc etc" is vapid.  You can't use data without Macarthur without putting it in the context of a rapidly (relatively) evolving situation.[/quote]
