A few days ago, the Elsie Whitlow Stokes Community Freedom Public Charter School was honored by Mayor Vincent Gray and the Public Charter School Board for making the top tier of the latter’s new Performance Management Framework. The charter board ranks schools in three tiers, based on the standardized tests in reading and math that all D.C. public schools must administer — plus other indicators. Schools in the first tier are those deemed high-performing in these areas.
When we first started the school in September 1998, there were no ranking systems other than D.C.’s standardized tests.
