[quote=Anonymous]I don't think they are meaningless or harmful... i think they are misnomers b/c they purport to be ranking the teaching quality of the school when really, they are ranking the intellectual quality (or economic quality) of the kids. I hate that at least half of the schools in this state are labelled as "bad schools" because they have an overall test pass rate of average or less than average. It doesn't mean that the teachers are bad or the school is bad. It means that there are larger groups of kids who aren't at the top... and there may still be groups of kids who are doing fabulously (but they are lost in a label that averages everythign out.).
