Because parents shop around for the "best" schools, and the only thing they can look at are test scores. Why do you think there are so many websites that rank schools now a days - from schooldigger to USNWR. I bet most of the parents that hate CC also use those rankings/sites. [/quote]

Sadly, if you are using test scores as your criterion, you may be disappointed.

PP here.  I agree.  We didn't use just test scores as a criteria for choosing a neighborhood to buy our house.  If we did, we'd have bought in the W cluster of MCPS, which we looked at, but decided against.  We live in the RM cluster.  But a lot of parents, especially in the DMV look at these types of websites.

I went on to schooldigger once because someone had mentioned it (on DCUM) and I had never heard of it. So I looked at it out of curiosity. On the lower left side of the main page, there is a ticker that shows % of web viewers by state.  I've been on that site maybe 3x, and each time, MD is usually in the top 3.[/quote]
