[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]As a longtime property owner IB for Murch, I note that its relative position in the ranking order of "general schoolwide achievement" has .... unequivocally tanked.  Relative to its extremely similar upper NW siblings; to schools like eaton and stoddert that also have a ton of rental apartments inbounds like Murch does (thereby allowing for an enrollment of somewhat less affluent students and ESL embassy kids); relative to the "rowhouse Riviera" from Dupont to Cap Hill -- where the housing style/yard size may differ, but the parents' jobs and education levels are the same as they are in Ward3.

If I had kids at Murch or headed there, I'd want some answers about its plummet over the past 10 years, in this imperfect but useful metric.   It's undeniable. What's going on? The trend transcends principals, renovation, etc[/quote]

Yes, if your only concern is PARCC scores then you should be concerned.  Many people (myself included) have multiple kids in DCPS and could care less about PARCC scores.  They really tell you nothing.  It is sad to see people put so much emphasis on PARCC scores which happen over a few days a year rather than the entire school year.  Do you think that people who are happy with their non great scoring PARCC school (us) are so focused on PARCC scores?  No we love the school and the community and how happy the kids are and the great admins and the wonderful teachers and the great education the kids are receiving.  I am sure it is the same at Murch.[/quote]
