[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Here is the bottom line people. I’ll make it easy for everyone,

If your kid is at level 1 or 2 and you are looking for a school to help them “grow”, feel free to look at these parameters.

If your kid is at level 4 or 5, forget it, look and see if the majority of kids are at 4 and 5.[/quote]

And for those of us not inbound for schools with the majority of kids at 4-5 I think there is a difference between a school with 40-50% 3-5 and 10-20%.  My inbound might not be amazing but there seems to be enough on grade level kids to mean that they will be ignored.[/quote]

That’s not how it works.  So if you have 40-50% 3-5, that basically translates to maybe 20% at grade level at best because we know majority in that group are 3 and not 5.  The remaining 50-60% kids are all way below grade level.

Instead of keeping those 20% kids together and track them for grade level teaching.  Gasp!  We can’t have that because of “equity”.  What the school does is spread those 20% kids out among the 3 or 4 classes so you have a handful of kids in each class at best on grade level.  Teaching won’t be on grade level like your assumption.
