[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Also, many of the higher-ranked schools house AAP (gifted) centers, which will artificially inflate their average test scores while deflating those of their sending schools. [/quote]

ding, ding, ding.

Schools like Cunningham and Marsh Road lose their highest kids to AAP centers (Mosby Woods and Archer).  LJMS is also AAP for the middle school set that comes from Thoreau.... but that may change b/c Thoreau has just been remodeled and has extra space.  I know people who choose it over Thoreau just b/c the AAP program is more established (I don't know if it is necessarily better).

Just b/c a school has 20% of the kids who get free meals or who might be minorities or eng lang. learners doesn't mean that the kids who look like yours (i.e. white, native eng. speakers, high ed. parents, not poor) get a bad education.

A 5, 6, or 7 GS rating does not mean that every kid at the school scores at the middle or slightly above on the SOLs.  It means that when the high performing kids and lower performing kids are added together and averaged out... the school as a whole is right on par with the average for the state or better than the average (after all,   a "5 " on GS means "on par for the middle of all students in VA").  I can understand trying to avoid a 2, 3, or 4 GS school, but it's kind of silly when you get to a 6 or 7 and you're still writing it off.  By the way, those GS ratings that are currently published are based on tests taken in 2015 -- 18 mos. ago.  So, you might expect that they are not entirely accurate for today.
