OT: API scores

No, it isn’t simple, grepper because in the “Gage Elementary attendance area,[/quote]

bg, calm down! i said it wasnt that simple. my main point is that when the parents care (guardians too) you will likely have good students. i was also speculating that parents that care are more likely to be educated. i picked 2 schools (for everyone mre is miramar ranch in scripps ranch and gage is in mira mesa) that i knew have differing demographics w/ differing schools…i also said my example proved nothing.

the teachers are important too. i just think in general the parents caring is more important. obviously a horrible teacher can be hurtful. however, i’m talking about in general or on the average.

bg why is the api lower at gage? i wasnt picking on gage for any particular reason. i think many of the kids there will do fine. why might those two schools be different teachers? parents? students(ie esol)?

i agree that parents shouldnt get bent out of shape w/ the api scores. parents just are crazy and do the stupidest stuff for their kids. they need to calm down and think rationally. 🙂 you live where you live, and it is what it is. if you dont like the score you can move or try to play a bigger role in your kid’s education. that, is that simple.

API seems to be inversely correlated to Participants in Free or Reduced-Price Lunch %

Miramar Ranch is at 10%, Gage is 47%

English learners metrics is less reliable. EL students have low API in low income areas, but 153 EL students at Stone Ranch scored 947 API.

And that is apparently unusual enough to qualify the school for ‘Distinguished Schools award for its success in closing the “achievement gap” between rich and poor students.’
