[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][b]The county publishes test scores by school grouped by demographic to evaluate a school’s potential as opposed to its SES[/b]. Although probably obvious, it's not unusual for schools with lower overall score to outperform their less diverse counterparts for similar cohort groups. Looking deeper, most schools in MoCo seem comparable, and the ratings published by sites like great schools aren’t meaningful beyond fluffing real-estate values. Best of luck![/quote] IMO, a school is good if FARMS kids are generally performing well. High scores for higher income kids don't really mean that much since they tend to score high regardless of school cluster, so those test scores don't tell you much about the quality of the teachers and instruction.[/quote]
