[quote=Anonymous]I don't want to totally derail on the graetschool stuff, but I am curious how they come up with the equity scores.  I just compared Ashburton with neighbor Wyngate, and Wyngate's said "low income and under-served minority students" scored in the 77%, while it was closer to 50 percentile at Ashburton.  I know Ashburton has apartments (which Wyngate does not) and Ashburton generally has some more affordable houses than Wyngate, so I'm wondering how the populations compare.  Does anyone know how they come up with these numbers?  
I do wonder if they include Latinos in the under-served minority groups.  Wyngate has a lot of highly educated Latino families, for whatever reason.
  
It might be interesting for school districts to also collect data on students based on whether their parents have a 4-year college education.

I'm not arguing with the PP that pointed out that how a school educates its most challenged students is a good indicator of how good a school it is.  It just seems to me that the data for Ashburton might be off, and I'm wondering how it is skewed.[/quote]
