[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Students in lower grades are showing improvements. It makes sense that the students who are younger, who have had the most early exposure to the reforms, would show the most improvement. The recent PARCC exam results confirm this:

Slide 16:

If reforms began seven years ago, then a child who started PK3 at that time would only be in 4th grade now -- and when the reforms began, not many children were enrolled in PK3.

DCPS has been in decline for more than 30 years. It isn't going to magically become Virginia in 5 years. But, in my own view, the improvement over this period is positive. Enough to make me stick around.

This is magical thinking, see the later posters. We essentially just see fewer middle class kids in the later grades. It's likely that more will stay...and scores will improve.

Whew!  It's a good thing there's no relationship between the two.[/quote]

I think that what the previous poster meant is once we have 100% gentrification, the problem will solve itself.[/quote]
