[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote]Yes. LAMB, Yu Ying also showing very low numbers for white students. I am trying to understand this metric better. Disabled students showing very high numbers.[/quote]
White schools at both schools are much lower than white students’ scores across the District. Once would assume that is related to bilingual learning but who knows.  So the number reflected for white students as part of the group score is low because it’s relying on that comparison. [/quote]

So, the way this is weighed, white kids scoring quite a bit lower than expected/average on PARCC does pretty much nothing to the ranking of the school. Yu Ying getting a score in the 90's with a white kid score of 41. Even though it is 30% white.

I'm all for making sure that underperforming demographics are doing well especially on PARCC growth, but, this seems like it's way out of whack. [/quote]

Well, that's the metric that the star measures. If you want to know more about how the rich kids do on PARCC, you can still find that on PARCC.  But the decision was made to base the stars on the performance of the at-risk kids, apparently.  [/quote]

Date for my WOTP school on bullying, violence, and school safety is fake  :roll:  usual nonsense; how do we know any of this date is correct? Where are they getting it from? We know for a fact that schools are discouraged from reporting incidents as it marks down the principals IMPACT scores!!! [/quote]

DCPS central office takes data reported from the school and reports on this annually to OSSE, which provides it to the federal government. The report card data is pulling from those reports.

It may be inaccurate (garbage in/garbage out) but it isn't new. This is just the first time that it's been exposed in this way to the public together with academic achievement data. [/quote]

Some of it could be easily fact checked with a baseline level of effort. For example our elementary school lists an IB program, AP classes and dual college enrollment.   [/quote]
