[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]DC Prep charter middle school appears to be thriving according to the test scores.  Any parents here with students there?[/quote]

KIPP Promise also. Wow. 47/74 (and 55/88 for non-special ed, which I think is the highest non-special ed math score in the whole city!) with a virtually 100% ED AA population. That is incredibly impressive. [/quote]

are you going to send your child there - no.  If all the children at KIPP were high or middle SES kids would you send you kid there - no.

Admit it you want a different kind of education for your kid.  You also want the test scores to validate that different kind of education, and that isn't happening.  I'm fine with it not happening (I think standardized tests are not  great measures of learning), but you can't have it both ways until we have a better test, and that's not going to happen anytime soon ([b]in part because tests that measure learning would be very expensive to grade[/b]).

Time, people, to let go of test scores as the holy grail.

and because educators don't write the tests . . .[/quote]
