[quote=Anonymous]I have been looking at locations in Virginia where my family can live inexpensively. We have children and would need high quality schools. I have found numerous very rural locations in Virginia with excellent Great Schools ratings (high schools rated 7, 8, or 9). I KNOW some of these areas from growing up in Virginia, and people who live there tend to not speak proper English and are often lower income (which is why it's affordable to live there!). I don't understand why those rural schools would have higher GS ratings that, say, Arlington schools. I know it's test scores, but are the kids who speak differently from the way the test questions are written really doing better than the kids in Arlington? How does this happen?[/quote]
