[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I'm admittedly not great at working with the PARCC data spreadsheets, but from what I can tell, EH's 7th grade math results for white kids* looks basically identical to all other schools, and even better than some DCUM favs:

% Meets/Exceeds:
EH - 84%
SH - 70%
Deal - 86%
Hardy - 81%
Basis - 87%
Latin - 82%
DCI- 69%

* I'm only breaking this down for white kids to dispel the notion that your privileged kid will not learn anything. I would love to do a deeper dive on how the MS do with educating other demographics [b]but that's not really what the discussion is about here, is it?  [/b]

For me it is. You’re comparing a tiny subset of all test takers at Elliot Hine to cherry pick data, when the data shows that the vast majority of kids at Elliot Hine are [b]below grade level[/b]. The vast majority of kids are at or above grade level at all those other schools (except perhaps 
SH). You cannot tell me that the learning environment at Elliot Hine is going to come close to the same level of education as those other schools when you have so many students struggling with grade level material.

Yes I can tell you that, because PARCC is heavily content based, and the kids like mine do exactly the same as they’d do at the more affluent Deal or sought-after Latin. And I can see my kid growing and maturing nicely, learning to manage his workload, get along with others, have fun, and all those good things along with being able to roll out of bed at 8am and walk to school.

You are delusional if you think students at EH are learning all the same material as students at Deal, Latin or BASIS. Proficient in PARCC material is the floor. [/quote]

Ok well, do you have a child at EH? If PARCC is the floor then explain how EH is  doing substantially better than Latin and DCI, two HRCS around here?[/quote]
