[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]There are lots of articles on here how greatschools changed their school calculation about 3 years ago. They are mostly funded by realestate and they push readers to those  school zones with more expensive homes.

Ashburton zones have a crazy zigzag that includes every town house and apartment complex nearby, even when they are closer to schools like Wyngate. I think i read the most recent details from an agent in the real estate forum.

We are an ashburton family, when we moved here years ago, it was an 8. Ashburton has higher diversity than some nearby schools. [b]As soon as great schools added their equity calculation,  the score immediately dropped.
I would NOT rely on greatschools scores [/b]

This is such an entitled and rich white person thing to say. Why should the equity section not matter? Not everyone is like your children, to folks of different backgrounds, it’s important to know how different student groups perform on standardized tests and other measures of academics. Measuring student performance by demographics also makes the school ratings less about which schools have more white and wealthy kids and more about which schools are truly serving all their students well.
