[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Nope, what I'm saying is that when people are stating that they are turned off by a school simply because of test scores, they are missing the mark. Test scores, in and of themselves, do not determine that a child is receiving a high-quality education. So take out WOTP and replace it with 'high test scores' (which will read a little funny, but you get the point).[/quote] Its impossible for a parent to judge how much test scores are the result of teaching vs student preparation. Many posters on this and the 100+ page thread claim the teaching is fine. Its hard to trust those claims without evidence, such as data on how a cohort of hardy grads were doing in HS and if they found themselves well prepared.[/quote] This is just anecdote of course, but my (high-peforming, IB) Hardy student and my chiild's peers from Hardy all seem to be having very successful high school careers.[/quote] Thanks for your willingness to share information, PP. Is your high-performing Hardy grad at Wilson? Which AP classes is your DC taking? How has he/she scored on the APs?[/quote]
