[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous] Stuart has a score of 2 out of 10, big fail http://www.greatschools.org/virginia/falls-church/518-Stuart-High-School/[/quote] True. greatschools.org is a Big Fail.[/quote] I keep seeing this posted repeatedly, with nothing to back up the assertion. Why is this?[/quote] Probably because greatschools.org aggregates test scores (SOL scores in Virginia) so their numerical rating is skewed. In Fairfax County, the greatschools.org elementary schools with 9s and 10s will be AAP centers, as an example. In turn, the base schools that do not have AAP centers may have skewed lower SOL scores as their high-scoring-kids went to the AAP Center. It is fairly difficult to untangle the AAP center kids' SOL scores from the general ed kids' SOL scores. You can do some approximation of that using above-grade-level SOL scores and the Virginia school report card data: https://p1pe.doe.virginia.gov/reportcard/ [/quote]
