[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=NathanBacaABC7][quote=Anonymous]Bets on which school is next to have this “breaking news”? Dunbar would be my best guess.[/quote]

I'm hearing the same. I'll report on any documents I get in the future.[/quote]

Most DCPS high schools have PARCC scores that are sub 30s and have graduation rates 50, 60, 70, even 80% percent

It's obvious the whole system is corrupted

The attendance scale is just the top of the iceberg.  The real issue is "graduating" students who in many cases lack even basic skills mastered at the elementary level[/quote]

I agree that there is a problem with grad rates given attendance and other issues. But nationally PARCC averages in the upper 30’s or 40’s.

If you want to waste a little time and see what the test is like, try a practice test. https://parcc.pearson.com/practice-tests/

School Math ELA

Anacostia 1 4  (obvious investigation target)
Ballou 0 9 (known corruption)
Cardozo 4 10 (obvious investigation target)
Columbia Heights 14 24 (known corruption)
Coolidge 1 15 (obvious investigation target)
Dunbar 1 6 (obvious investigation target)
Eastern 1 20 (obvious investigation target)
Woodson High School 0 8 (obvious investigation target)

Look to be generous those schools should be graduating maybe 25% of students

Those schools are atrocious DCPS is a joke

Are you using the college ready standard? Because there is room in the world for people who have completed high school, but are not college ready. The PARCC is actually a really hard test meant to suss out who should be going to college, so getting a 3 means you've done well enough, but maybe you aren't college material. That's OK. That doesn't mean you shouldn't graduate high school.[/quote]

Those are scores that are 3+ that means in most of those schools 80-90% of the students are to put it bluntly.....  (pick your word)

It's a disservice to society to "graduate" people who aren't going to be able to function[/quote]
