[quote=Anonymous]I don't think the logic of percentage of people taking the test is applicable b/c only those kids who are college bound or at least considering college are taking the test. Clearly, you are going to have more kids going on to college at a higher-income, less-diverse school such as Oakton; and fewer kids taking a test in a school with a larger proportion of low-income kids. So, in terms of comparing how well different hs are preparing kids for college, it IS accurate to compare only those who took the test (b/c they have identified themselves as intending to go to college). So, South Lakes and Oakton may be different in the school culture/environment, but it looks like they are pretty darn similar in providing the opportunity for a good college prep education. [/quote]
