[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Even if wealth may influence the rankings in a way that might skew the quality of instruction that might be inferred, it would still nonetheless seem to be an accurate measure of overall environment of academic achievement, wouldn’t it? Yes it may reflect wealth that may allow tutors and other supplements, but doesn’t that reflect an overall higher readiness among students in those schools? And isn’t that an appropriate measure?[/quote] Sure but by that account who cares. Is it more impressive for a school to rank near the top where students have every advantage such that a 98% graduation rate should be expected vs a school with a mix of socioeconomic levels that achieved a 86% graduation rate? The question is which school is actually better at teaching and engaging students, not what type of family/fiance dynamic sets up kids up for greater success. [/quote]
