[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Oh don't get me started - especially on greatschools.org and how they punished a bunch of non-W schools for their "equity" measurements, which couldn't even apply to W schools in the first place because of the lack of economic diversity.

Check out niche.com, an alternative ratings site, which gives only slightly lower grades to east county schools than west county.

Go to Maryland Report Card and look at the test scores and percentage of kids that attend college while filtering for different demographics. When you compare students by race and income, the W schools are actually not the cream of the crop, not even close. They need to change the way they rate schools so that it is reflective of this and not just a way of telling which school has more poor or white students. [/quote]

It's just like (sort of like? reminded me of how?) how the SAT actually measures parental income[/quote]

That's a gross exaggeration.  Yes, income can help in that someone can afford a prep class or tutor.  But, at the end of the day, the kid has to learn the material.  Plenty of poor kids know the material and plenty of rich ones don't.[/quote]
