[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Great Schools ranks schools exclusively by test scores. There is an extraordinarily tight correlation between high test scores and high SES. So of course all the schools ranked highly by great schools will be in rich neighborhoods. How much test scores tell you about the quality of a school is another question.[/quote] Not entirely true. For DC, and any other jurisdictions that calculate PMF score, that's factored into the Great Schools rating along with the test score. MD and VA don't do PMF - so theirs are just PARCC (MD) and SOLs (VA). [/quote] Forgot the link. http://www.greatschools.org/catalog/pdf/New_Ratings_Methodology_Report.pdf[/quote]
