[quote=Anonymous]6:54 No one is complaining about black students. You are the only one who keeps talking about black students in a negative way Lots of posters are concerned that hispanic ESL kids are weighted too highly for their percentage of the school population in this new formula. The new GS is rating each population group equally, even if proportionally they are very different. So a school might be 70% white (GS 9), 20% asian (GS 9), 7% hispanic (GS 3), 3% AA (GS 8 but not included in the ranking because they are less than 5% of the population). GS does the lazy math and weights each of the three groups equally instead of proportionally: 9+9+3=21/3= GS rating is now a 7 even though 93% of the students are testing at the top level of the state. Everyone except for the hispanic , ESL kids. Instead they should do a proportional representation to give a more accurate picture: 7% of your school population should not be weighted for 33.3% of your school score.[/quote]
