[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]It's really interesting to me that there are two Tier 1 charters accessible to Capitol Hill (Chamberlain and Eagle Academy) that have basically no white students; whereas two of DCUM's "HRCS" are tier 2.  [/quote]

You are ignoring Two Rivers. Tier 1 with a student population that mirrors DC.[/quote]

Also, regarding the two HRCS that are not tier 1, I wouldn't be too concerned. They literally had the same PARCC scores if not better than some tier 1s. Sure they didn't have growth (which I wouldn't make excuses for) but one can wager that a school that size (I think they both only have two classes per grade) any fluctuation from year to year will have large impact. Additionally, they will probably always be a few points lower with attrition as they don't have high school paths. As both schools are entering their older grades, they find themselves seeing kids leave for high school feeders (Two Rivers doesn't have this as much but they are established and a lot larger). Again because of their small size per grade, this will impact overall %. Is there any other newer (5 years or less) charter that only has two class grades and not have high school path that made tier 1 (save Sela)? [/quote]
