[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I'm convinced that greatschools does more harm than good at this point. Too many people use it as a shorthand way to assess school quality without looking at anything other than the number or knowing how that number is given. It's a measure of student's average performance on SOLs compared to average performance at other schools in the state - nothing more, nothing less. To say a school is good or bad based only at that data point is stupid. [/quote] Not only that, but many people try to compare across state lines, which is absolutely incorrect. A "5" in one state might be an "8" in another.[/quote]
