But look further at Langley.
They have no measurable at risk population, but great schools gave them the highest equity score in the county and I think the entire area.

That is a .major reason why they are flawed.

If Langley has no measurable .minority or esol population they should not have received the highest score for equity. They should have the lowest score for having the least diversity.

This. Where is the diversity scale? That needs to be added.[/quote]

Great Schools is trying to measure performance, but they use a flawed algorithm applied crudely to all public schools.  You want them to add a "diversity scale' that is based solely on demographics.    [/quote]
