[quote=Anonymous]So we all know about the national rankings of school systems and so forth, but how do parents know what Schools are high achieving within a school district? What metrics are being used when comparing DC vs VA vs MD (DCPS/Charter v FCPS/Loudoun/Arlington etc. v Howard/MoCo etc.); Are the standardized test results able to be directly compared across school systems? How do the private schools factor in since they have their own set of metrics? Who decides which private school is better than the others? I'm mainly curious how parents are figuring out when moving to this area(dmv) or moving around it, how is everyone sorting through and scrutizing the various options aside from neighborhood price points.[/quote]
