[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]It can, and frequently does, all come down to an achievement gap. Also, GS changes their methodology occasionally and a school that was a 9 can suddenly be a 5, despite nothing changing at the school. GS is crap and not a good system to rely upon when it comes to school choice.[/quote] +1 though my general understanding is that GS rating tracks with SES of the school body, which doesn't necessarily predict how an individual child would do at that school.[/quote] Sort of. If you have enough low income students to be measurable, then the score is tanked based on equity. If you look at Langley, they have no equity score on GS because they don't have enough FARMs students measure for the category. Compare that to McLean which does have enough farms kids and gets a 4 in that category driving down the score. [/quote]
