[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Can someone explain to me how Sela is ranked in a tier when it has no PARCC score?  I do not understand this at all and it seems to undermine the whole tier system since you are no longer comparing apples to apples.  The other schools that are not tiered did not have PARCC scores.  And, for example, this is the first year that CMI is tiered.  I do not see how Sela got a ranking - this must be a mistake, and if so, it should be fixed because it is misleading.  Not knowing the school at all - I know happy people there - but this makes no sense.[/quote]

In 2014-15 DCPCSB developed a PMF approach for ECE (PK-3 to 2nd). The idea was that although students shouldn't take an assessment like PARCC there needed to be some accountability measures and standard metrics.

50% of the PMF ranking for a PK3-2nd school is based on student performance and 50% on school culture and some other factors.

Schools like Bridges that are growing one grade at a time and are planned to go to 5th, will not be ranked until their oldest students reach 4th. Sela is only going to 3nd at this point, and has students in their top grade, thus is ranked.

See page 2 at this link for Sela's scores. http://www.dcpcsb.org/sites/default/files/Sela%20PCS_EC_PK-2_2016.pdf
