Writing is one of three numbers in that chart. It is not like the chart has 10 figures in it - how is highlighting one of 3 cherry picking but pointing to 2 out of 4 (just one number more) not similar?

Really I just keep coming back to this thread to see if the snotty "better school" posters change their tune at all or if any evidence of this over the top boostering by marshall parents shows up. It is not a pretty thread for the "better school" posters so far though.

Because the PP was trying to conclude that Marshall was superior based on one of three scores in the test.  The schools are about the same, sure.  There are differences, but I am sure if we put in statistical uncertainties in the measures, there would be no significant different between the schools.

Other things not shown is: what is the percentage of student that don't take the SAT's?  I know of a school (not in this area) that encouraged the poorer performing students not to take the SAT's.  (I do not think that happens here).
