[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]You've got to stop clinging to the one time ranking in US News and World Report. Yes, it was exciting because QO never makes this list but the achievement is really short lived. QO scored pretty badly on the MD report card and only received a 66% while NW scored one point higher at 67%. Since all the schools are scored you can't count on inching up because BCC, Whitman and others didn't report scores so the bad score plus more competition will push you way farther back in the rankings.

If you want to boost QO, you need tp change your talking point as your ranking has just tanked. Start parroting how rankings don't matter. [/quote]

That's cute. QO does poorly a lot because minority and poor students tend to do terrible on standardized tests because they are largely ESOL students. The diversity in QO isn't the neighborhoods(Kentlands and Lakelands and Darnestown are all around 80% white). Part of the district feeds from the other part of Gaithersburg and that tends to be the diversity. Most kids from educated families are just as good students as Whitman or churchill kids. [/quote]

Let's state the fact:  QO is mediocre. It is far below Whitman, Wootton and Churchill. And WJ and BCC. [/quote]

We're aware that's your stance. Prove it with data that disaggregates by race to demonstrate that each racial group performs worse in QO than in those other schools.[/quote]

It's not a "stance." It's a fact. Do your own research and do it by your own crazy metric.[/quote]

I did do research. I posted USNWR rankings, in which QO is ranked #5 in MD and Whitman is unranked. There are also Niche rankings, which have QO at number 9 with an A ranking, not far behind the schools with A+ rankings.

Do you have data to counter these claims, or will you simply keep replying with "you're wrong"?[/quote]
