Deal feeders, at risk %

Janney 5, 0% 88.43, 70.10
Hearst 4, 8% 77.32, 60.95
Murch 4, 5% 79.85, 58.63
Lafayette 4, 3% 78.00, 69.25
Shepherd 4, 15% 71.61, 76.25
Bancroft 4, 31% 80.16, < 10 AA students

PP here. I was interested in how AA students perform at these schools. I've added the Star Framework score for all students, followed by score for black students, for each school.

Overall, it looks like Shepherd has the best score for AA students. However, they don't offer breakdowns for "at-risk" etc. within subgroups, and so it's unclear whether the higher score at Shepherd is attributable to something about instruction, demographic factors, or a combination.

I did this quickly, but hopefully no errors.

Oh, and forgot to add, it's curious why the score for AA students at Shepherd is actually higher than the score for all students--this is the only Deal feeder where that is true. I need to read a fuller description of how these scores were calculated.

*Breakthrough too new for star rating

Are DC Bilingual, Capital City, and El Haynes not considered part of this group? (I know HRCS is not a real thing but these schools along with center city schools were all ones we considered for our list)

And, I'm confused about how the breakdown of the score by demographic is achieved. For our school All Students is higher than the actual score; also various demographics have their own scores but they don't seem to average to All Students - ?

There is weighting involved in the subgroups (e.g. I know that students with disabilities are weighted 2x as much as ELLs or students with disabilities).

For the details you need to dig into the Framework Technical guide https://osse.dc.gov/sites/default/files/dc/sites/osse/publication/attachments/2018-19%20DC%20School%20Report%20Card%20and%20STAR%20Framework%20Technical%20Guide.pdf

Wait what? They’re assigning more value to some students?

It's complicated - read the framework on how the scores are derived. There are also metrics in the mix related to how ELL students are moving toward English proficiency.
