[quote=Anonymous]Concerned that both RM and BCC are ranked very low on the "college readiness index" compared to other MoCo schools. Both BCC and RM have significant IB and AP programs, and the way the college readiness index is calculated by weighting the numerator of the index 25% for the "simple IB or AP participation" rate means that this part of the calculation skews artificially low compared to other schools that only have AP or only have IB. Einstein may also be affected by this, although I don't have a sense how large the participation rate of the AP program is. Seems like the authors of the index didn't really understand the effect of defining this part of the index this way. [/quote]
