[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]20:12 - something is very wrong with your scores. You inflated Blair, deflated Churchill, and slightly inflated Wheaton.

Here are the SAT scores available at Niche.com

Churchill 1330
Blair 1270
Einstein and Wheaton 1150[/quote]

The PP's intent was to look past simple averages that GS uses which serve only to identify which high-schools draw a higher percentage of rich kids., and provide a better, refined analysis that looks at the granular data.

[b]When you isolate for race which is proxy a for socioeconomic status there is not much of a disparity between the performance of kids of the same backgrounds across these schools. [/b]

For example, when you compare average SAT scores for MCPS schools for a larger demographic common to all these schools the great schools narrative begins to fall apart and it becomes clear they're not all that different.

[b]Blair 1326 [/b]
Walter Johnson 1275 
Wooton 1262 
Churchill 1257 
Wheaton 1173 
Einstein 1148

The data is for the largest cohort common to the aforementioned schools on page 10.

I've suspected the same kid would do more or less the same at any of these schools too, but your analysis underscores this for me.[b] Unfortunately, this won't go over well with people who paid big bucks to live in the segregated areas[/b].[/quote]
