Hi all - thank you all for your participation and your thoughtfulness today. I just wanted to give you a quick heads-up that I've pulled the MCAS and discipline data to provide a more inclusive view, so the slideshow now has updated charts. -- MPH

Where is data on other marginalized groups? What are the experiences of our disabled students? Transgender?

It’s clear that our current high school course levels are harmful to students of color. Why not have classrooms of students with mixed abilities and differentiated assignments?

I noticed that only 27% of black students met or exceeded expectations on MCAS (grade 3-8). I wonder how our curriculum or teaching practices could shift to ensure these students are learning and meeting expectations

Students are not blind to these problems-especially those who are in marginalized groups. Its represented clearly in the Vocal data. If students can see and feel it, why can't staff/site/district seem to do anything about it? How can students feel belonging if their voices aren't being heard?

We talked about how disheartening it was to look at the demographic of students vs the demographic of disciplinary actions

Our curriculum is geared towards white students. It is disappointing that conversations about our curriculum are often shut down. A shift is needed.

The percentage of ELs and Black students meeting or exceeding expectations on standardized tests is unacceptably low.

Huge disparities and big gap with diverse staffing. How to we provide better care to our BIPOC students and no be so segregated

There has been significant change in the population and demographics over 20 years. What have we learned about these new populations?

I feel really uncomfortable that the data presented wasn't inclusive of all races represented at BPS.

I was surprised to see that the number of black students taking APs at Belmont is so much lower than black students who take APs across MA and the US

Where does discipline intervention actually begin?

I would like to explore how having a significantly higher Asian population is reflected in our work on race and equity.

Discipline data is especially disappointing and disheartening.

# data[].attributes.body
Black students make up the smallest population percentage, but have the highest suspension population

# data[].attributes.body
math MCAS success decreases dramatically for black students as they progress through school

# data[].attributes.body
I see that black students are one of the smallest populations, but the most affected by disciplinary actions. The data also shows that they also seem to have less access to academic opportunities.

# data[].attributes.body
Was Asian student data overlooked, not recorded, or folded into another group?

# data[].attributes.body
Not surprising
Sad

Most of our BHS students who are being suspended are also not meeting or exceeding grade level expectations. These students are also predominantly our black and brown students.
