[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Wait, do you think that higher SATs reflect the quality of the school? You would be mistaken there. Walls has 12% at risk students. Banneker and McKinley are Title 1 schools with 35% at-risk (meaning: living in poverty) students. The SAT scores at Walls are not reflecting the quality of the school; they are reflecting the basic average incomes of the student population. [/quote] We're talking about where a kid who has 98th+ percentile test scores and 5s on the PARCC is going to find an appropriate academic experience. Do you think that's going to be at a school where most of the kids are below grade level, the average SAT score is 950 and where a large majority of kids who take AP tests are not getting at least a 3? Do you think that's a school that's going to have the interest and ability to serve PP's kid? Or do you think maybe it's better for them to be at a school where their kid has enough of a peer group that you can have classes specifically targeted at them?[/quote]
