[quote=Anonymous]I do think that comparing privates to *all* publics is a bit unbalanced. After all, most parents who are weighing the choice between private and public are not even considering Ballou. Even given this comparison, the VA stats were better for publics, and the MD stats were within spitting distance. What seemed to really tip the balance were the DC stats. As we know, there are some good public high schools in DC, but a lot of really bad ones. Parents who can afford private most definitely aren't looking at the bad DC publics. So if the question concerns peer groups, and achievement within classes of schools, a DC-wide measure seems a bit unfair.[/quote]
