Well, not the particular type of math that helps you answer questions on the PARCC at least.
Even if that’s the case, why are 67% of white kids scoring 4s and 5s and UNDER 10% of black kids? That’s not fidelity to the Montessori methodology, that’s white kids getting something the black kids aren’t. Whether that’s different classroom experiences, different support at home, or something else. But those numbers are alarming and shouldn’t be dismissed by the school and DCPCSB.
Could you point to where to find that data?

Thank you! Is there any way to see how many kids were in each category?
OSSE has PARCC results so you can crunch the numbers yourself.

25.8% - 4+ 51.6% - 3+
In contrast, LAMB had 130 test takers.
55.4% - 4+ 85.4% - 3+
Agreed that these numbers look bad for Lee. That said, that's not a lot of kids. Can someone more proficient than I am with stats speak to validity when there's a denominator of 31?
I agree the numbers don't mean that much, especially since they're some years out of date, but they certainly don't say anything good about Lee. Especially as LAMB is also teaching the kids Spanish, and teaching them *in* Spanish.
