[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]

All of these schools, except Wooton, aren't as good as Baltimore City POLY though, so...

LOL. That school is just like NW- scored high for its reputation, but very violent with fights and robberies. Stats don't lie, but stats sure aren't everything. Doubt a single person on this thread would send their DC to Baltimore Poly.

Sorry. These are stats from the MD Report Card site:

Baltimore City POLY scores[/b]

http://reportcard.msde.maryland.gov/Graphs/#/Repor...eportCardSchool/3/17/6/30/0403

Asian: 90% math, 90% ela 
Black / AA: 72% math, 80% ela 
Hispanic: 69.6% math, 91.3% ela 
White: 92.9% math, 95.7% ela

Find me another school with scores like that, let alone with such a diverse population. For being “dangerous with fights” these kids are killing it (npi) on these test scores. Says a lot about the lack of quality of a lot of MoCo schools that hardly any of these kids come from homes worth $300k, let alone $1M.[/quote]
