God what a mess. I see that they are fixing some of the errors now. But how can anyone know whether or not the academic achievement numbers are correct? They still have Janney as a Title I school for crying out loud.

If I were OSSE I'd be so embarrassed. Zero stars.

Yes, sorry!

LAMB

I think there was one more like this too that I saw


Three of those are language immersion, where white students might struggle (vs eg Hispanic children with a native speaker parent)...

So I just went through each school's STAR framework by Alll Students and also by Group. Either way you look at the data, (looking at each subgroup means there is no weighting; that only comes into play in the All Students score) CMI is lagging behind the other 3 schools.

See below. I omitted Asian students which did not have enough enrollment everywhere to be scored.

Group -- CMI / MV/ LAMB / YY

All students -- 37.16/73.5/68.55/95.4

Spec Needs -- 51.19/56.7/80.6/82.98

At Risk -- 17.4/50.31/63.12/64.98

ELL -- 26.7/27.05/41.99/64.93

Black -- 21.39/57.71/53.79/86.33

Latino -- 21.39/47.18/63.5/65.23

White -- 22.06/49.18/43.72/41.80



Thank you! So, what I understood was that All Students was NOT weighted, because if it is weighted, then what is the final star score - which is different from All Students and incorporates the weighting? And if All is weighted then, in what way?

As you can see the various scores below it do not in any way configure up to that All score, as far as I'm able to see.


I think you are right about All Students - my bad. But I do know I copied the above correctly.

The technical guide for how it's computed after you have the group scores is a few pages - so I don't want to try and summarize it.

But even without knowing that, by looking at All Students and each group I see pretty clear delineation between the schools and the number of STARs awarded.




This interactive chart (with bright colors) shows what goes into each STAR rating, and the relative weight of each input. You can manipulate the graphic by school.

Is Maury the only neighborhood school, with 5 star rating, now in NW?


Yes. Although SWS is 90%ish people who live in NE or SE. I think Maury actually has the highest score of any ES...
