Hyde-Addison

Matter of time before H-A switches to mostly in-boundary. They now have a PK3-12 path that involves good local neighborhood schools most can walk/bike to.

FACTS! We were in private for PreK, K and switched to Hyde for 1st (in-boundary) and the experience, academically and socially has been a far better experience. We are very pleased to save our coins and get a better educational experience. If people can get in out of bounds, I would. It's a great school.

We love Hyde-Addison. It tends to get overlooked on this forum and by parents who live in boundary for it.

No. Have you not noticed they need to treat cell sizes with small Ns differently?

25 kids from Deal boundary
17 kids from Hardy boundary
11 kids from Maury boundary
15 kids from SWW@FS boundary
33 kids from J-R boundary

So let's not be saying that BASIS doesn't pull from high-income areas. And those are just the schools with 10 or more kids at BASIS.

It's true that BASIS pulls kids from EOTR, but so does Deal.

Did you think no one was familiar with the data and would notice you ae playing games and cherry picking?

There are almost as many kids IB from Eastern as the entire group you cherry picked. 20% of the HS kids are from JR. 15% of the MS (excluding 5th grade, obv) is from Deal and Hardy. Your cherry picked group is less than 100 out of 650 enrolled.

Here's what you didn't paste:

Anacostia High School 12
Dunbar High School 31
Eastern High School 80
Roosevelt High School 14
Brookland Middle School 10
Eliot-Hine Middle School 36
Hardy Middle School 17
Hart Middle School 11
Ida B. Wells Middle School 14
Jefferson Middle School Academy 47
Kelly Miller Middle School 11
MacFarland Middle School 28
McKinley Middle School 10
Sousa Middle School 11
Stuart-Hobson Middle School 54

So BASIS pulls from all these areas and STILL has only 7% overall "at risk" for their total population. Why is that? This just proves the self-selection point.

8%.

Janney has less than 1% at risk. Why don’t you go picket them?

Because they aren't claiming that it's the result of "100% pure lottery!!!!!". Nor do they refuse to backfill.

They won’t let in out of bounds!!!! Bus the kids in now!!!!

I guess it's because I feel like Janney is what it is, it's not trying to convince people it's anything other than a vast-majority-high-income school that performs as expected for its demographics. Unlike BASIS which wants to claim "100% pure lottery" (which is itself disingenuous when sibling preference and the Equitable Action preference at other schools skews things), and then pretend that their policies and poor retention don't have any impact on their demographics. And then likes to compare to schools with different policies and different demographics and claim victory without acknowledging those differences. Rigor!

I’ll say the quiet part out loud, demographics/SES play a large factor in student success and since we are UMC but are unwilling to be house poor and move inbounds for an Upper NW school, we opted for BASIS which has similar demographics. We understand that our child would do well in any school, and “rigor” is just another term associated with higher SES.

Schools with high UMC kids should be showing at least 90% of the student body as achieving +5s. I'm really irritated by the fact that +5 percentages aren't broken out. What is the point of this??

Ha that’s funny. The PARCC is actually fairly rigorous and it’s not easy to get a 5. Remember Arne Duncan’s controversial comment on soccer moms being upset that their kids weren’t as brilliant and schools weren’t as special as they thought???

+1

For 2021-22, in the whole city there were only 18 ninth graders who scored a “5” on math. The PP expecting “at least 90% of the student body” to get a 5 merely based on demographics is way off base.

As a teacher in a PARCC testing grade I can assure you getting a 5 on PARCC is not that easy. When a students gets a 5 they are advanced, but not necessarily above grade level as the PARCC tests only grade level content. I meet many parents who ask for their child to be challenged with above grade level work:my first advice is try getting a 5 on PARCC. Some students don't need more, then need to be better at what they are learning.
