[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]So where is the achievement gap below 40 or 50%?[/quote]

At Oyster-Adams, the black/white achievement gap in ELA is 12%; however it’s 32% in math.[/quote]

There is essentially no black/white achievement gap at Ross:  4% in ELA and 0% in Math.  DCPS needs to bottle and replicate whatever is going on at Ross![/quote]

I wonder—are the black kids at Ross high SES or something?  Since we know a lot of this boils down to SES differences?[/quote]

Answer is yes.   18% AA, 18% Hispanic Latino, 12% Economically disadvantaged, and  of note 3% special needs.  Do they counsel these kids out?  Ross is the new Key in a boundary economic advantage standpoint.[/quote]

Ross' minority kids are mostly well off and not special needs. They can't report at-risk or special education. Still, closing the gap as they have -- even w/in similar SES demographics -- and especially in the context of producing very high scores ) so not closing the gap because they dragged down the best performers), is INCREDIBLY impressive.

That said, L-T's turn around is amazing. Despite what an early poster said about richer/whiter =ing better test scores (obviously true), L-T's scores have shot up despite the fact that they still have large non-white/non-rich populations. L-T was still Title I last year. It can report at-risk and special education scores. It is richer and whiter than it was, yes... but it's still not that white or that rich and it's scores are climbing. In fact, it's white kids scores are on par with JKLM by and large. The fact that over 50% of AT RISK students tested 4s or 5s in English is especially notable and a real achievement. Is there any other DCPS that can boast that?[/quote]
