[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]It's a response, but it's not an answer.[/quote]

then how about this:

by some parents; because they think there is  a higher chance for a school to be "better" if the students perform better - if no other information is available for comparison purposes.

That's a circular answer. People who think that schools with high average standardized test scores are better prefer schools with high average standardized test scores.[/quote]

It is not. I explicitly said: because they think there is  a [b]higher chance[/b] for a school to be "better".

That is: they don't know for sure whether the school is better. But from the only information they have: test scores (that is the precondition for my previous statement) - they believe there is a positive correlation between 
the [b]probability of the school being better[/b] to the[b] student test scores[/b].

I don't think there is anything wrong with that logic.  That stands for (I believe) any reasonable definitions of a "better school".
