[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]All public and charter schools in DC with a 5th grade, is what it looks like to me. [/quote]

You can't compare fifth grade classes across schools though since so many kids shuffle to middle schools and better feeder patterns in fifth.[/quote]

What is the best comparison?[/quote]

9th grade for charters starting in 5th.[/quote]

As a BASIS family, even I know that's not an entirely fair comparison. BASIS 9th graders have been at the school for 4 years. No exceptions. Latin has some new 9th graders. DCPS HS are inheriting kids from a variety of schools. Even application HS that test in show 9th grade results largely based on where the kids came from.

From my perspective the issue is whether there exists at any school a critical mass of kids who are at or above grade level. If only 30% or so are then that informs how those teachers can teach. Whatever your threshold is combined with changes in scores at the same school YoY are really the only totally useful applications of this data.[/quote]
