swings liek that shouldn't happen. A slow downward trend or upward trend perhaps, but swings indicate a flawed test.
Yes, slight fluctuations from year to year could be explained away as noise, but that is a pretty huge drop. I'd hate to be the principal right now--she probably has a lot of explaining to do.
test prep city on the way! I'd hate to be a student at a school with a downward swing . . .

Is Banneker predominantly African American?

I clicked on Export and downloaded a 38K line Excel Chart, but it appears that schools are identified by a "SchoolCode" (column B). Anyone know where we can find a list of codes for various schools?
Just click on the school you want from this list: http://results.osse.dc.gov/state/DC#explore-schools-leas

Banneker's ELA score is great. Math almost as good.
Kudos for them for scoring highest in city.

Except swings didn't happen everywhere -
DCI had a modest tick upward. BASIS stayed about the same - slight increase in math.

Is data by subgroups/schools/grades yet available?
Normally I would regard a post like yours as alarmist, but I admit that I looked at Wilson's scores right away (we have a child there) and was appalled but not entirely surprised. http://results.osse.dc.gov/school/463/assessment/1/proficiency/4
Looking at the subgroups, the African-American and Latino scores at Wilson are unbelievable: 8/3 and 12/8 (English/math proficiency= met or exceeded grade level). And what happens to white kids, most of whom come from Deal or Hardy? Those middle schools' scores, respectively, are 81/90 and 67/63 for white students, but they get to Wilson and descend to 45/40? Or is it that kids with options (Walls, private school) still aren't really choosing Wilson? (My son had those options and did choose Wilson, for better or worse!)
I suspect that.

Not sure...but I expect there will be some 'xplaing to do. Did kids refuse to take the test? It would be helpful if we could see actual numbers.
