Ugh, i hate the posturing that begins on page 1 of this thread: X is best because kids scored 1% better than Y! Yay us. come on, aren't we smarter than that?

And I'd love to see some critical discussion about the tests themselves. Are these tests measuring the correct things? Should third graders be evaluated on comprehension with a keyboard based test? And, what do these scores say about the education any individual child is receiving?

That said, yay eaton - gotten fairly ridiculous bashing on this board alter, but hanging in the top, as usual.

It's also important to note how many grades/kids comprise the testing population, especially for the charters. At MV, it's only 3rd grade. At YY, it's 3rd-5th. At ITS, it's 3rd-6th. Not sure if the Two Rivers stats include all of the middle school kids, but I bet they do. Etc.

And that the scores, generally, go down as the kids age, for whatever reason. So it's only really fair to compare similar grades. Halfway down:

"The strongest scores were in the earliest grades: 30 percent of third-graders scored a 4 or better, compared to 21 percent of sixth-graders. Middle school scores were the lowest"

Yes, this. I think it's terrible that OSSE decided to aggregate the reporting of all of these grades together, when some schools only offer 3-5, others offer 3-8, and other offer 5-8 or 6-8 or some combination thereof.

If the school has more than 25 per grade you can see how they did per grade. They definintely need to lower it to 10.
For example, in 3rd grade only:
MV 40% in math and 31% in english
ITS 56% in math and 52% in english
LAMB 33% in math and 48% in english
2R got 60% in math and 60% in english

Calm down. OSSE released the grade by grade results too -look at their links (and also broke out by special needs, race/ethnicity and econ at risk. Be annoyed with the Post which is only reporting the aggregate scores by school.

Wait, do all the grades take the SAME test?! Or is it a different test per grade...

Different test per grade. Any middle schoolers who are taking what DC considers advanced math (Algebra or Geometry) will take that exam. The spreadsheets that were released by OSSE are dense but you can distinguish between grades.

How oddly competitive of you.

Also, check out the number of tests valid - I think schools like ITS, CMI and MV only had 1 or 2 testing classes this year.

Not at all, I am at one of the other schools you mentioned. I know it's going to take time for us to get there and I am happy with the education my kid is getting now.
