[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]If the new DC Report Card is to be believed, definitely SH. SH did very well; EH did horribly. SH was 20% up in every achievement metric and way ahead on growth. 60% difference in overall score. [/quote]

There's nothing to believe or not believe. The metrics are the metrics. The real questions are: do you understand what the metrics are measuring?  And: is the metric something you care about for your own family?

The bulk of the DC Report Card score is based on the schoolwide growth-to-proficiency measure, which I personally don't think is very useful for individual families.[/quote]

I mean EH did worse in literally everything they measured. Absolute score differential was the worst, but also growth. EH also had over 1/3rd of students who were chronically truant. Like there is nothing positive about the Report Card at all.[/quote]

In an ideal world, I want a middle school where every student thrives. In DC, I just want one where my student has enough academic peers for the school to provide appropriate coursework and educational opportunities.[/quote]

But that metric would favor SH even more…. In absolute performance, SH is miles ahead. Literally +20% in every achievement category. Lots of people on this thread claimed the schools were about the same, that appears to be manifestly untrue.[/quote]
