[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Pyle is consistently rated the top middle school in the state of Maryland regardless of special programs or demographics. It also feeds into [b]the general  consensus best high school[/b] in the state makes it a no brainer. The only real down side is Pyle is large by middle school standards.

That isn't to say that some special program might not be better for some specific kid but those are typically competive and targeted for specific small groups and all one has to do for Pyle is move there which is it's own from of competitive. [/quote]

Whose consensus, and what makes it the best?[/quote]

Try googling best maryland high school, try usnews who has the oldest and most respected list [url]https://www.usnews.com/education/best-high-schools/maryland[/url]

Or open your eyes [/quote]

So, Q: what makes it the best? A: high test scores. Well, if that's your opinion on how to define best, then ok. I have a different opinion, but we all get to have our own opinions.[/quote]

Yes that why it was stated as (the consensus). There will always be people who ignore criteria and statistics while inflating arbitrary intangibles to inflate something that they care about to arrive at a preconceived "opinion". But when the people who are not involved universally rank something higher the majority of the time, that is when it becomes a consensus. That allows you to have your opinion, it just classifies it as an uninformed outlining case of sour grapes.
