[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]WHAT: Rocketship PCS-Legacy Prep (located in Ward 7) has the highest score at 94.6% for the PK-8 framework. This is the highest score of any first-year school. (As a first-year school, Rocketship PCS - Legacy Prep did not receive a Tier.) [/quote]

No students took the PARCC test at Rocketship last year (it went through 2nd grade). Not knocking the school. I think that the comparing and ranking schools based on PMF score is a worthy goal - but the apples are really not apples in some cases.[/quote]

So what's left then to even measure? Re-enrollment is out, growth is out, PARCC is out. Attendance? Site visit?[/quote]

Yes, exactly. Just attendance and the site visits/observations called CLASS plus MAP growth. Rocketship's first campus started out Tier 1 with just those few measures and then dropped to Tier 2 when PARCC scores were included. It will be interesting to see what happens when MAP growth is replaced with PARCC growth. This isn't something unique to Rocketship. It's hard to compare schools that are just starting and have only one or two grades with schools that have a larger grade span and more measures. [/quote]

This is what happened at Sela this year.  Can someone explain why PARCC scores would bring down the score after MAP scores were only included the first few years?[/quote]
