[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]It seems like sticking to the prior GS approach of just assigning scores based on the overall test scores sends the clearest signal as to the performance of students at a particular school. It's objective information, and it encourages schools with higher scores to maintain their excellence while encouraging those with lower scores to raise their game. Wasn't that the original intent behind GS? The additional "equity" component seems to backfire more often than scale. At a rich school district like Langley, you get credit because your minority students typically come from wealthy families. On the other hand, if many of your minority students live in low-income apartments, as at West Potomac, you get penalized. [/quote] You get credit because they don't count minority's students.
