[quote=Anonymous]I've found that Great Schools is really useful. Just avoid the "equity" ranking. Equity penalizes schools that are more diverse because it compares test scores of other races to whites. Maybe in some areas that's beneficial, but in my school it's not. Comparing UMC whites/Asians to under the poverty line Hispanics doesn't work. You're not really comparing races, you're comparing kids from vastly different income levels. Whereas where I grew up, there wasn't this disparity in wealth that fell along racial lines. [/quote]
