[quote=Anonymous]So, I was the one who used the term "bonehead" and I am actually on the Fairfax side of this "debate." The problem with the Polaris data is its very narrow definition of elite (and it is probably narrow because that was the only data they could get). Many TJ kids pass on Ivies not only for UVA, but also for "elite" engineering schools other than MIT, but these students are not picked up in the Polaris data. Similarly, we don't have info on other "elite" non-engineering schools. Probably the best standardized measure of student quality coming out of a county is average SAT scores. Who cares if individual SAT scores are correlated with SES? The SAT is supposed to measure college-readiness. Sorry FCPS wins over MCPS and edges APS. I would like to point out that APS, LCPS, FCC, and PWPS students at TJ get poached by FCPS when calculating average SAT scores.[/quote]
