[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]One calculation showed more than 700 pt (based on old 2400 pt system) difference between RMIB and non magnet kids. Some would say that’s a small difference but that’s like taking another subject test. Holy sh...it.[/quote] A portion of the magnet IB students live inbounds. Yes, the test scores would drop, but so what? Test scores are largely a measure of income status. If you take out the wealthy kids out of the W schools, the scores would drop. A good school is not just about test scores which pretty much reflects upper/middle class student body. A good school consists of staff/admin who care about the students and their education, and a school where low income students are able to score fairly well on tests and have a high graduation rate is a reflection of a dedicated staff, ie, a good school. There are several non W schools like this. [/quote]
