[quote=Anonymous]Oakton parent, don't fret about school digger ratings. School digger is not a legitimate rating source. It uses flawed methodology. School digger ranks Key Center as #1 in the state, above TJ. Key center does a wonderful job at achieving its purpose, but it is not the number one high school in the state and should not even be part of this ranking system. Key center is a special needs magnet for the most severe disabilities. The students at Key are not taking SOLs or SATs; they are working on very different things than a mainstream high school. Based on Key being #1 in Virginia, their ranking must rely heavily or exclusively on class ratios (around 6:1 at Key). Some of the other top schools on that list are schools in other parts of the state that are never at the top of ranking lists. I bet if you look into it, the scores are much lower than fcps, but rheir student/teacher ratio is much lower.[/quote]
