[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]As others have noted, it is the wrong comparison.  Compare cities to cities not to states.[/quote]

As others have noted, even when you compare cities to cities, DC still has poor results.

This thing about comparable data not being available is a flimsy excuse.[/quote]

What is being compared? Or is there a link?

When I look at NAEP results for cities, DC is in the middle of the pack for math and a bit higher for reading.

You are interpreting the data wrong.  DC is 6-10 points WORST than your baseline large city performance.  Look at the shades of colors and what they stand for and how far off points wise from that.[/quote]

Forgot to add, looking at 8th grade which is better representation than 4th[/quote]

Thank you. I was looking at 4th.

NAEP Students at or Above Proficient for Large Cities:
- 4th Reading DC 7 out of 27
- 4th Math DC 11 out of 27
- 8th Reading 16 out of 27
- 8th Math 20 out of 27
