[quote=Anonymous]These were also some interesting observations from that SAT analysis, a few relevant to the AP/IB discussion:

(1) TJ is in a class by itself;

(2) [b]one distinguishing characteristic of the five neighborhood schools with the highest overall scores (Langley, McLean, Woodson, Oakton, Madison) is that students in every group have comparatively high scores; 
[/b]
(3) in numerous cases, white students at schools with relatively few white students do just as well if not better than white students at schools with more white students;

(4) [b]the nine high schools with the highest scoring Asian students are all AP schools; 
[/b]
(5) the seven high schools with the highest scoring Black students all have 5.0% or lower AA enrollments as of September 2015, creating a potential dilemma for AA parents who want to send their kids to both top-performing schools and schools with significant numbers of AA students;

(6) apart from Langley and TJ, every high school in FCPS is at least 10% Hispanic now; and

(7) excluding TJ, the spread between the schools with the highest and lowest scores for white students (276 points) is considerably lower than the spread between the schools with the highest and lowest scores for Asian students (462 points), Black students (325 points) and Hispanic students (405).
