[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]As per the link:

"[b]The Forbes analysis focused on 775 counties with more than 65,000 residents [/b]that had the highest average property taxes. Forbes narrowed the final list to 97 by looking at the jurisdictions where more than 50 percent of the education spending came from property taxes. The study examined the per pupil spending costs adjusted for the cost of living in these communities and compared them with national student performance indicators such as SAT scores and participation rates and high school graduation rates.

Sounds like they only focused on counties, not on towns - and on large counties at that.

"Ranked fifth" is misleading.  I'd be interested to know how it really ranks, if you compare each and every school system nationwide, including towns with small populations of highly-educated people.[/quote]

Why is it misleading...  who cares if a tiny school district in Montana is the best if it doesn't serve a large number of students.  The analysis shows districts where one could realisticly move to and be served.  There no way around MCPS being one of the best all things considered...[/quote]
