[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]how much teaching to the test is there? If I look at the whitest school in DC -SWS- and compare their 3rd and 4th grade results -46% and 56%- to the average 79% and 70% for white kids, it seems that students at SWS are slackers. At least compared to the other white schools in the NW and Brent. Is it the education model? Cap Montessori is also bad, actually much worse. [/quote]

SWS only has 3rd grade test results.  I was surprised that it didn't have 25 white students in order to report test results for just white students.  I was also surprised that their ELA was lower than their math - I was expecting the opposite.[/quote]

SWS isn't the whitest school in DC - Janney for one has a higher white percentage.  [b]SWS is up there though in terms of percentage of white students and based on that, one might have expected better test results[/b].  I wonder if a lack of typing skills accounts for ELA being lower than math.[/quote]

Do special ed students take the test?  [/quote]

Yes[/quote]

The fact that there aren't 25 white kids among 39 students pretty much answers PPs inane comment about the demographics, especially for grade 3.  That translates to &lt; 2/3 whatever the school's overall demographics.

For 3rd grade, SWS is 8th overall among DCPS for math 4+, 9th for 3+ and 9th for 5.  SWS is 10th overall among DCPS for ELA 4+, 5th for 3+ and 16th for 5.  Of course, you're talking about ~ 60 total kids in DCPS 3rd grade who reached 5 so there's not much shame in only having 1 student hit that mark.  There were 185 3rd graders who reached 5 on math, including 5 from SWS[/quote]
