[quote=Anonymous]Appears “Great Schools” has changed their methodology yet again. They seem to be changing methodology every year or two. The scores are now essentially meaningless. For at least the last five years, it hasn't been unusual for schools to bounce from a 9 to a 6 and then back up to an 8 or 9, with the changes having nothing to do with changes at the schools and everything to do with changes in the ratings methodology, as decided solely by GS for their own reasons. It's crazy that the GS ratings still get as much attention as they do, but they rely on lazy people looking for short cuts and willing to put their blind trust in numerical ratings, regardless of the ratings’ source or basis.[/quote]
