[quote=Anonymous]Just because the school's overall test scores are lower, doesn't mean the school is bad or the teaching is bad. We tend to speak of the "good" schools and the "bad" schools, but REALLY what we're talking about is the socio-economics of the population that attends that school. The test scores reflect a lot more about who is taking the test than who is giving the test. If you compare your child's demographic group to kids (in the same group) in another so-called "good" school and then you see a big disparity, o.k. -- then you can lay the blame/credit on the teachers. It's just not rationally defendible to compare overall test scores of a school with 50% FARMS or ESOL with a school that is 2% FARMS or ESOL. It's usually not a case of the teachers/school failing.
