DP. What do you mean? Look up the various schools you're interested in and then compare their profiles.[/quote]

How is that different than school profiles? Is there an overall chart where you can easily compare them all together?[/quote]

It's different because you can see the data before great schools uses it's biased agenda to eff with the numbers and produce a completely ridiculous score.

There is no easy comparison at this time. But here's the deal: there are amazing schools are great schools "5", that fail 20% of their class but have another 40% pass at an advanced level. This is important because typical score evaluations from GS are just how many passed. (That 80% number is really how many in percentage passed but does not indicate advanced scores.) What is more important is seeing how many excel. If no one is excelling, then we have a problem. But if we are having more kids excelling over failing, then that school doesn't deserve a mediocre score, regardless of SES or race.
