[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Top 10 for the state of VA are: #1 TJ #2 George Mason #3 Langley #4 Open (Richmond) #5 McLean #6 Oakton #7 Woodson #8 Marshall #9 West Springfield #10 Washington Lee[/quote] (US News) [/quote] Not credible -- if you look at their methodology, they disqualified several schools on technicalities. If you have a small cohort that does poorly (in Madison's case, the only disadvantaged kids are also ESL kids, and they were disqualified. It is a small cohort, but enough to bring it down).[/quote] Marshall has a larger SES cohort than Madison and still does very well. [/quote] The phrase “larger SES cohort” makes no sense. Do you mean “larger low-SES cohort”? If there are fewer low-SES kids, the odds are greater that a small number of ESOL/FARMS kids who do poorly on the SOLs could lead a school to be unranked by US News. [/quote]
