[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Did you look at why? It is because they are failing low income students and the is a large achievement gap. For test scores overall it is still ranked well. I am glad GS changed their ratings. [/quote] It's more than that: "Beginning Thursday, the site will also rate schools based on student growth from year to year, and, for secondary schools, on graduation rates, Advanced Placement offerings and enrollment, and students’ average performance on college placement tests. It also includes an “equity” rating, based on whether there are achievement gaps for students from racial minority groups, those in poverty, and those with special needs, as well as on how students in those groups fare compared to similar students statewide. The revamped site also uses federal civil rights data to flag schools that show high rates of student absenteeism or disproportionate discipline for different groups of students." [/quote]
