[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]West Springfield is more diverse than Yorktown and has a GS score of 8.  [/quote]

The only sense in which it's more diverse is that it has more asian students, who don't tend to be disadvantaged from an academic performance standpoint. West Springfield has a lower percentage of low-income students and a lower percentages of hispanic students than Yorktown (both are under 1% for black students).[/quote]
They both have 11 % low income students [/quote]

GS doesn't look at current data and stats, they're using 2015 data, at which point Yorktown was 13% and West Springfield was 11%. You can't look at current demographic stats and use them to judge historical test scores because as demographics shift, test scores likely will as well.[/quote]
Hilarious! Classic Arlington!
Adding 2 percent to the f/RL rate at Wakefield ( pushing it to almost 50 %) is statistically insignificant.
But 2 percent at Yorktown to THIRTEEN PERCENT? Well that is just unbelievable pressure on performance![/quote]
