They did update the school ratings as of a few weeks ago if anyone is interested in comparing and seeing what they think now versus last year..


Is there a way to see past years?


That’s a good question. I haven’t found out how yet after clicking around. I’d love to see scores trends for schools.

I have found this site to have more in depth data than GreatSchools.

Our Title 1 is a 7/10 (down from 8/10 previously) and has high equity scores. I agree that weighs heavily in the calculations.

Both ITS and Latin got terrible ratings here, and both ave notably terrible scores for underserved students, and rewarded schools, both DCPS and Charter, where underserved kids are scoring better than average (like Seaton, which got a 7). So, I think that section is weighing heavily on the "GreatSchools" rating. Deservedly, bc that's where you can tell if the teaching is actually working.

Do you know what it was previously?


No, and their PARCC scores did go down a little bit this year, but it's crazy to call it 2/10.

I am not familiar with Hearst so can't comment on the whole rolling dumpster fire thing, but these seem to be from the 2021-22 school year, so not last year, the year before. Greatschools lags behind DCPS data by about a year.

Wow. But their test-scores are higher than the state average. Must be equity?

Wow. Haven't looked at 'greatschools' in 10 years.

Just a mirror of test score crap.
