It would be interesting if they provided data by race for parent education. Looking at past data there was a big jump in the percent that exceeds the standard for parents with a professional or graduate degree.
The percent of students tested appear to be consistent for all categories. 80% of Black were tested compared to 97% of Asians. I am guessing that may have something to do with attendance rates.
One question about numbers. When I would review EEO reports, the statisticians gave me three rules of thumb. I could not calculate a percent with less than 11 cases. I could not compare groups or actual compared to plan with an N of less than 30., 15 if is was random selection. I could not ask the grantees to explain the differences or ask for corrective action. Of course statisticians were free not to follow their own rules.
I ask because there are many schools where number in the groups are less than 30 that took the test.

What percentage if each group takes the test? It seems that an easy way to game the system would be to discourage SED students from taking the test.
Lowell and SOTA deserve their reputations, it appears that Lincoln does not.
Latino SED students do well in Westside schools, especially Lowell. It’s too bad that more cannot attend.
