[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I see Ashburton Elementary's GreatSchools rating is down to a 6.  Any idea what has caused the decrease in ranking?

I would also be interested in any current parents' experience with Kindergarten / 1st grade at Ashburton.  My kids would start Kindergarten in Fall 2022 and we are already starting to think about whether we will send them there or to a private school in the area.  [/quote]

It’s the new GS equity ratings driving down the score, punishing schools with more diverse (income, English language fluency), hence the sharp drop
over 1-2 years. A few other schools with more diverse swings in income in their student populations have dropped as well (Bradley Hills went down to a 7 for example, Garrett Park is down to a 6). Other nearby schools (with higher GS scores) that they’re being measured against have near totally homogeneous student populations when it comes to family background and income. So they’re essentially rewarded (in scoring) for their lack of income diversity in their student body.
