[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]How do people figure out if schools are measurably better, though? Great schools doesn't do that. Would high school SAT score comparison be a good barometer? [/quote] They look at socioeconomic status. That is really what separates good and "bad" schools. Schools with wealthy kids will do better by any measure just based on the fact that all the kids are coming from well to do families with educated parents. Now between APS and FCPS one might be able to argue that APS will have better teachers because FCP is know to have the lowest paid teachers in the area which causes a lot of teachers to leave for other school districts.
