[quote=Anonymous]I live in Arlington and participated in the Redistricting thread and so clicked on this thread out of curiousity. The point is valid. If we evaluate schools as successful based on test scores, then all you need is to flood the school with higher-performing kids (likely with a higher SES) thereby diluting the scores of the low-performers. Is the school performing better? Of course not. Simplistically, you could evaluate a school system's success year by year based on overall percentage of students' test scores. What percentage of kids are failing these tests across the board, and then how do you reach those kids regardless of what school they attend. More evenly balancing demographics across the schools simply hides the problem.[/quote]
