[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I am delighted to see all the statistics backing up the point that I perceive as so obvious:  The more IB parents families their kids to Hardy, the more scores at Hardy will start reflecting IB families.

What is hard to understand about this?  Nothing -- except there have been other psych/perception forces at work over the last few years that have clouded even the most logical/statistical minds.  [/quote]

It seems like the parents who say they are waiting for the scores to go up before they send their kids to Hardy are really saying - they're more influenced by gossip and innuendo than they are by statistics and common sense.[/quote]

Perhaps they recognize that the emperor has no clothes.  The percentage of white kids scoring "advanced" is much higher at Deal than Hardy.

Thank you! I had asked OP for this analysis, with no response so far.

Those results debunk this whole thread. The proportion of white kids who score advanced at deal is essentially double than hardy, both in reading and math. Over 50% vs 27%. Over 70% vs 42%. That's certainly not peanuts. And parents notice.[/quote]
