[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I don't think it's hypocritical not to want your own kid be taught to the test, yet look at test scores to estimate the percentage of high achieving kids, since it's the only data available to get some glimpse at academic performance of a student body. The only possible proxies for this data are SES and race, which are obviously problematic to use. I wouldn't look at test scores as a measure of school quality, but as a rough indicator of the quality of the students. Minute differences are meaningless, like those between various WOTP elementaries, but it does give you the big picture regarding the peer group, FWIW.[/quote] Quality of student? I don't even know how to respond... ?[/quote] There are good students and shitty students. Do you think that is not the case? [/quote]
