[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous] Some people *clearly* do not understand statistics and probabilities. If you have a group that normally scores high, then statistically, the median score of that group will be high. If you widen the group and include many more groups that statistically score lower, then the median score of the whole group will go down. You can argue that kids aren't a statistic, but the question of whether the median score went down with this new method is a simple matter of math. I'm just using a bit of math and statistics to reach a conclusion. The naysayers are using emotion, not math or logic. MCPS can put this question to rest by publishing the test scores of median accepted students like they used to do. Why did they stop doing so?[/quote] Why do you care about the median test scores of the accepted students? What does this information tell you? If you had this information, what would you do with it?[/quote]
