[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Amazing what kind of misinformation some people are posting here.  Case in point, that Latin only has 10% FARMS. That is simply false, so people should get their facts straight before posting.  the following comes directly from the Latin Open House: 30% are FARMS.

Wow, this is fascinating! So the OSSE website reports that only 10% of Latin students taking the DC CAS are FARMS.

The school reports 30%.

That means someone is lying. Or wait, maybe Latin is 30% FARMs and they "encourage" those students not to take the tests?

In the meantime, I'm more inclined to believe OSSE's data unless you can move beyond hearsay from an open house.[/quote]

Students take the DC-CAS in grades 5, 6, 7, 8, and 10.  Grades 9, 11, and 12 do not take the DC-CAS.  That may explain some discrepancy between these data, I haven't gone back to look and see which are the full student body and which are students who take this test.  I suspect given the school history that grades 11, and 12 have a higher FARMS rate than the lower grades.  Full student body would therefore have a higher FARMS rate than tested students.

In other words, both data sets could be true, and no one is lying[/quote]
