[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]And test scores do not tell the whole story about schools. I wish people would stop pretending they do. It's so annoying to pick up one of those magazines named after a city, look at the article that says something like, "We rank all the high schools! Is yours in the top five?" And then look at the methodology they used only to find that it's just a ranking of test scores. Nothing more. [/quote]
I am all ears to learn about a better metric than test scores.[/quote]

You know what, lady? Seriously just send your kid to Whitman and be happy and stop antagonizing all the people you don't believe could possibly be happy with their schools. May your children be kinder (but with such high test scores, of course).[/quote]
I am not a lady and I am in the Richard Montgomery cluster. Now that we cleared that up, what metric is better than test scores?[/quote]

Best metric is the success and happiness of these students when they are adults. I know a dog walker who graduated from Harvard and thousands of dollars later is still trying to find herself. She went to  churchill.[/quote]

I know a dog walker who went to Springbrook, then to UMD and then to law school and is still trying to find herself. Happens to kids who go to all strata of schools.[/quote]
