[quote=Anonymous]Another bias of the report is that the tiers are defined not as a certain level of perfomance needed, but as the top 25% of schools (quartile). So the bottom 25% of schools will by definition of the methodology be tier 4. So, the method were applied to only Ward 2 & 3 schools, there would be 25% in tier 4. I think the way the schools end up ranked is probably about right. But the problem comes if the analysis is rerun in 5 or 10 years. There still will be 25% tier 4 schools. They may be better performing (many of the current tier 4 have Dc-case scores on a downward trend), but we can't all be "above average".[/quote]
