[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I love data and numbers, and I would say these reports are too complicated to be useful. And there is no easily accessible information about what each metric actually is (i.e., how it is computed) in a school's profile. And they put a possible range of scores and then have data points for a school that are outside that.

I think this could have been a useful exercise but ultimately wasn't because it is so poorly documented.[/quote]

Yep, totally agree. [/quote]

I also agree with what some of the critics were saying before this ever came out: it feels icky. What is a school that is a one star supposed to do? How do they improve, and how does labeling them in this way help them improve? The nuance between 4 & 5 is minor compared to that, to me.[/quote]

The acting chancellor said that the lowest DCPS schools would be redesigned and parents would be partners in the process.

OSSE is investing $11M in the lowest 5% of school. Two of the lowest 5% are charters that were recommended for closure, FWIW.[/quote]
