[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]If you look at the document that the poster sent out (the one marked memo to principals, warning its a long document) you can see the number of students.  She used the data that corresponds to only 110 white kids. It was not all 700 students white students at Blair by any means but I'm sure that she would love for you to think it was all of them.

Because it’s SAT data, and all 700 kids didn’t take the SAT in one year. Students don’t take it every year of high school. Every white kid at W schools don’t take it every year either, so it’s not like she is comparing 110 at Blair to 1500 somewhere else. [/quote]

The report clearly states how many kids in each cohort took the SATs at each school. Nobody said anything like that. Please learn to read before posting this gibberish.[/quote]

Yes, Page 7 of the report has this data. It shows the total number (N Grads) vs the number that took the SAT at each school. Sure, the poster's point was there are demographic differences at these schools and I also don't see how these numbers diminish the results.

[code]               N Grads      N Took     %Took
Blair            164            110         67.1 
Poolesville   140              95         67.9 
Wooton       244            107         43.9 [/code]

Basically 110 took the SAT at Blair while 107 did at Wooton and 95 at Poolesville. We're splitting hairs here.[/quote]
