[quote=Anonymous]Great Schools' methodology:

In the past, the overall GreatSchools Rating in most states was based on test scores. [b]In some states*[/b], [b]the GreatSchools Rating was also based on student progress (or “growth”) and college readiness data (SAT/ACT participation and/or performance and/or graduation rates). Our school profiles now include important information in addition to test scores — factors that make a big difference in how children experience school, such as how much a school helps students improve academically, how well a school supports students from different socioeconomic, racial, and ethnic groups, and whether or not some groups of students are disproportionately affected by the school’s discipline and attendance policies. Many of these important themes now have their own rating, and these themed ratings are incorporated into the school’s overall GreatSchools Summary Rating.[/b]

Note: Some states do not have sufficient information to generate a Summary Rating (Alaska, Idaho, Maine, North Dakota, New Hampshire, South Dakota, and Vermont). In these states, we default to the school’s Test Score Rating as the overall rating displayed at the top of the profile.

GreatSchools ratings follow a 1-10 scale, where 10 is the highest and 1 is the lowest. Ratings at the lower end of the scale (1-3) signal that the school is “below average,” 4-7 indicate “average,” and 8-10 are “above average.” Each rating has its own color corresponding to this scale, ranging from green (10) to yellow to orange (1) to help you see the distinctions.
