[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote]As always they put a heavy focus on metrics that high-SES, majority white schools would inherently excel at. So of course, we see the East Coast on top as usual. [/quote] Maryland and Virginia are a LOT less “majority white” than most states.[/quote] NP.. it's really about SES/income. FCPS has less FARMs students than MCPS. Generally, the rankings are a proxy to income and education level of the populace. Schools in the W cluster in MCPS will rank highest; schools in the eastern county that have a high FARMs rate will rank very low. CA, NY have a high rate of FARMS students, but there are pockets of really high income, and those schools do really well (I'm originally from CA).[/quote]
