[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]There is about a 30%-40% difference in math and reading proficiency scores between Fields road and the Wootton cluster elementary schools.

Why do you think this is? I will tell you why-parent engagement. Many of the lower performing elementary schools have parents that are working multiple jobs, The kids are left alone sometimes for extended periods. Academics takes a back seat. Not saying they have full control over this but this is the reality.

I love how some of you think these kids will magically become high performers when moved to Crown. I’m sure they already had great teachers who tried to push them to achieve. Unless you have a ton of internal motivation that simply doesn’t work. [/quote]

So you are saying cohort doesn’t matter? In that case you shouldn’t worry about scores changing for any kids in either direction.  So, no problem.[/quote]

Their scores will affect the overall school rating, obviously. [/quote]

Rating on what? Some made up site for strivers, like Niche?[/quote]

It’s self segregation as they are ok with low achievers wishing their select group.  [/quote]
