[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]So is the reason hat the schools in NW DC are 6 - 8s because they are being compared to the private schools?[/quote] no. GS ratings are only based on state-required testing. So, if the private schools are not using the state-required tests (and usually they aren't), then they would not be part of the GS comparison ratings. IF they are a 6-8, it is probably because there are some kids of a lower SES who are not passing the tests as well as other kids in the school. But, any school that is a 6-8 is still ABOVE AVERAGE. [/quote] DC is tough. Those 6-8's are being compared with 2's across town...[/quote]
