[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]The county released SAT averages by HS and demographic cohort a few years ago. By using race as a proxy for SES differences you could get a more nuanced sense of how these schools stack up. For example, the SAT average for the largest cohort common to these schools was,

Blair 1326
Walter Johnson 1275
Wooton 1262
Churchill 1257
Wheaton 1173

It’s so eye-opening to realize things aren't always as they seem. The info is on page 8 at this link.

Yes.  Very eye-opening how far behind "1326" was.  The "1326" was the highest only for "White".

Poolesville was 1420 for Asian (the highest), 1380 for Black, and BCC was 1341 for 2+ races.  All beat out the "1326", so..[/quote]

The poster stated they were attempting to get an apples to apples comparison by looking at the largest cohort common to these schools.[/quote]

Who wants a 7-year-old apple?[/quote]

Little has changed since the county accidentally released that data. Further, it's the best we have to understand how these schools stack up by comparing the largest common cohorts as a proxy to SES we can better understand how their added value in how the same student might perform at one school or another.[/quote]
