[quote=Anonymous]Totally agree.  The PARCC scores are only provided in the aggregate so a school with a significant population of SN kids, like CMI or Bridges (once Bridges is reported out) will always probably have lower scores.  So, you need to look at the other factors to better understand what might be happening at the school.  Of course, you should also look at your own child and make your own determination based on how your child is individually doing at any given school. Each child is unique and there is absolutely no one school that is right for every child.  The fact is that when white families see a significant percentage of white students at a CMI or ITS (and let's be honest about the fact that 40 - 46% is very high percentage given the demographics of the white student population in public schools is DC), they flock to those schools because assumptions are made about ithe quality of the educational program, the "values" of the other families at the school, the economic background of the families, the "readiness" of the other students, the safety of the school, etc.  There is nothing new about this - this has been going on in America forever.
