[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]It's the dumbest methodology. A school would be #1 in the country if it made every 9th grader take 20 AP exams and 90% of them dropped out afterwards. It wouldn't even matter if the kids got all 1s on the tests.[/quote] Actually it only looks the percentage of 12th graders that have taken an AP, and how many have passed at least one. There is some additional weighting going on to take poverty data into account. Agree it's limited utility but it's driving DCPS to have kids at schools like Ballou take APs when hardly any pass. Is that a good idea? The cost of these exams is paid for by DCPS. [/quote]
