[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]There have been numerous posts on this board that attempt to adjust test average differences by using racial cohort data as a proxy for SES. This showed similar SES student cohorts at DCC schools performed similar (and sometimes better) than their W's counterparts. Having fewer students facing poverty does not necessarily mean higher achievement.[/quote]

Yes, you can totally get a sense of how one school stacks up to another by looking at SAT averages for similar SES cohorts. The data is available from MCPS at the link below, but the short-list is:

Blair 1326 
Walter Johnson 1275 
Wooton 1262 
Poolesville 1259 
Churchill 1257

These results are in line with the high-achiever data by MS which the county also published.

Use these figures with a caveat - Blair and Poolesville skim off students from other clusters attending the magnet programs and CAP.[/quote]
