[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]If you want to swayed by the Great schools number feel free. I prefer to look at actual data.

AP data - Einstein - 1.8 tests per student, average score 3.1, math, science scores 2.9, 2.8
SAT score average - 1590
Graduation rate 83%

AP Data - Whitman 2 tests per student  average score 4, math, science scores 4
SAT score average 1889
Graduation rate >95%

this is data from Montgomery County. You can argue about diversity and other factors but there is no denying that Whitman is preparing kids for college.

Sure, because money can buy tutors to prep for SAT and AP exams.  Not so much for PARCC.[/quote]

Of course - every kid at Whitman is getting tutored for SAT's and AP's. If you feel PARCC is that important  then of course go with the school that has the highest scores. I am more concerned with my kids being prepared for college and being able to handle the work and to me Whitman will do that more than Einstein.[/quote]
