[quote=Anonymous]Research shows that college performance and persistence are more closely correlated with high school GPA than with SAT and ACT scores. So I don't get the obsession with test scores.

A pp asked why there weren't more white students if it was such a great school. I think you only have to look at the response from some pps on this thread. They're looking at test scores and percentages of white kids from a distance and they haven't been to look at the school and haven't talked with any current or former students and parents.  They don't want to have to venture across the park or have their kids venture across the park.

They're too lazy to go do their own research and they're offended that the administration isn't begging them to send their kids there because they assume that their white upper middle class kids are superior to the current student body.  Being a minority in a top local school? That's for blacks and Latinos - not white kids.  They're far too delicate to handle that.

Sorry, I know this is a very harsh statement.  I don't have a problem if people feel the school wouldn't suit their kids but I do have a problem with the disdain - as if it's not enough to say the school isn't right for your child. The school has to be inferior - otherwise there would be more white people![/quote]
