[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]School Digger just gives the results of the state exams, at least in California, and ranks the schools by that criteria. In California, at least, areas that have high percentages of Asians are most likely to be highly ranked. Great Schools adds other criteria such as diversity (If the reviewer thinks that the school is not diverse enough, for example too many Whites, the points may be deducted), also if certain minority groups are not doing as well then points are deducted. For example, a school ranked 9 from test results can be downgraded to an 8 if it does not have enough minorities. My daughter teaches in a school which has mostly poor Hispanics, but Great Schools cannot deduct any points, because it is already rated one. [/quote] It would be very sad for a school to get negative points...[/quote]
