[quote=Anonymous]I don’t know a whole lot about the scoring system, but I know in my own kids’ district there have been ratings variations among schools and one of the explanations was: some of the grades are based on “improvement” metrics in various categories and/or scoring on certain criteria that not all of the schools have in large or equal numbers. For example items related to ESL learners, certain specific programs for students with special needs, certain socioeconomic or diversity factors, etc. Essentially, our district said that the scoring system really is not all that great (certain criteria can sometimes make an outsized impact on the overall score) and also that the metrics and criteria often change year to year as well. That is how our district explained some of this anyway. It was a few years ago though and can’t recall specifics. Was addressed at a school board meeting. [/quote]
