[quote=Anonymous]This was discussed on a recent thread when GS ratings came out. Starting a couple pages in. http://www.dcurbanmom.com/jforum/posts/list/15/640388.page The takeaway was that when you control for FARMS and ELS, South County is one of the poorest performing schools in the county, if not the worst performing. SC has relatively low FARMS and ELL rates, but is still only a GS 6. Schools with about the same FARMs rate (Marshall, Chantilly, LBSS) are GS 8 or 9. Schools that are GS 6 have significantly higher FARMs rates. People always say that your affluent white or Asian kid will do well at poor performing school X. But the numbers seem to be saying this does not hold for South County. Affluent white and Asian kids appear to be underperforming there. We looked at LBSS, Chantilly and South County when we moved-- and axed South County pretty quickly. Ended up at Chantilly for other reasons, but LBSS also looked like a good call. [/quote]
