[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Is there a selective high school? I don't know if this is true where you live, but in DC, they only test the lower math classes-- Algebra I, Geometry, and Algebra II. The better math students take one or two of those classes in middle school so they're not being tested on it in high school. The result is a lower-performing group of students taking the standardized tests in math when they are in high school. It's a quirk of the data. If you have any similar weirdness in your town or state, you might have the data skewed in some way. I would encourage you not to rely too heavily on ratings like GreatSchools. They do a poor job of handling this kind of subtlety.[/quote] It’s not a selective high school and the scores are from the state’s report cards NOT GReatschools.[/quote]
