[quote=Anonymous]"Their methodologies also don't make sense on their face. One school had minority groups, students with disabilities and economically disadvantaged students outperforming state averages for those groups in nearly every category, but they ended up with a 2 for equity." +10 This is the problem with the new method - it is not measuring how well a school educates disadvantaged groups of kids; it's simply measuring if those disadvantaged kids do worse than middle/high SES kids at the same school. That makes zero sense. By the way, this is also an issue for the "attendance" rating that dings schools if more disadvantaged kids are absent or suspended in a given school compared to others at that same school rather than comparing apples to apples state-wide to see how well a school is doing at encouraging disadvantaged kids to come to school and not do things that would merit suspension.
