Heck, my kid's high needs Focus School that includes a bunch of subsidized housing got 73. That's still not great, and I think we could and should do better, but I'm feeling a little better about it now.

I mean, perhaps the lesson here is that DCC schools are not as bad as y'all would like to think?

Did you look at some of the actual numbers? Not so good.

I don't get why they put so much on attendance.

My focus school in the Eastern part of the county got 4 stars.....yay for the poors.

Wow. Richard Montgomery. Ouch.

The race breakdown is not uniform. My school lists all races but the other school in the neighborhood does only has white, latino, two or more races, special ed. It does not seem accurate.
How does that affect the grade?

Maybe the achievement gap got narrowed successfully?
