What happened to Whitman's Great Schools Rating?

It is blank.

Glad to see Pyle is a 10.

I know these numbers don't mean much but they help real estate prices.

Weren't they a 3 a few years ago when most kids refused to take the PARCC?

I mean, the explanation on DCUM was that Whitman kids were so sophisticated that they tanked the test on purpose.

That was never substantiated, but the scores did eventually partially rebound.

As strange as it was, they went from a 9 or 10 to a 3 and back to a 9 or 10 a year later so the explanation rings true. I can understand why some might tank the test. It's not like they want to spend days on this just to meet some state requirements.

I mean.. wouldn't that apply to most HS kids regardless of their income or race?

True, I'm not a Whitman parent or anything but this pattern didn't happen elsewhere.

Whitman is a ten whether they get one on GS or not. The Woodacres/Pyle/Whitman trio is the best in the country.

Best is subjective. They are rated highly but if they had a different population and parental income they would be no better or worse than any other school in the county. You are just lucky it goes by income and housing prices.

Can anyone post the Whitman senior destinations instagram link? That is one way to compare to outcomes at other area high schools.

I guess it is a way to compare outcomes. Actually relying on it to make judgments about how your kid would do in different schools would seem pretty stupid though.

They probably just "refused" to retake the PARCC like they were three that year. At least, that's what many Whitman parents claimed.

Probably...They have very few low-income students dragging down their average like most other MCPS HS so they should have a high score.
