Just picking a couple of WOTP schools at random, Janney's white students' scores are 90/86, and Lafeyette's are 86/90.

However, Shepherd's black and Hispanic students scores are far lower, which suggests there is room for improvement there--54/50 for black students, and 40/30 for Hispanic students.

In comparison, I looked at Lafayette's black student scores--48/54, and Janney, 59/45. Doesn't look like any of these schools are doing amazingly with black students.

Interestingly, Lafayette's Hispanic scores are pretty high--89/75. Ditto for Lafayette, 86/68.

I'd be interested to see what elementary schools have the highest PARCC scores for black and Latino students..

Great job Shepherd. It’s important to note that with Shepherd, 25% of their population (likely minority) are low income so not exactly apples to apples. What’s even more impressive to me is the scores between at risk and not at risk are very close 50/50 vs 60/56. Compare that with Lafayette (32/47 vs 82/84) and Murch (Janney didn’t have enough at risk) of (38/23 vs 76/76).

Yes we know there are lots of people who think PARCC sucks. This is a thread for those who are interested in trendlines or a particular school's performance. Feel free to find one of the past PARCC sucks threads or start a new one.

DC has to have a statewide test per ESSA. I'm just as glad we aren't sucking millions in taxpayer dollars developing yet another one. Just use PARCC and move along.
