[quote=Anonymous]Here is my take, after having had my child spend a year at a poorly regarded HS, and spending a year at a well regarded HS. There is no correlation between test scores and teaching. DD's teachers in the well regarded school are abysmal, with a couple of exceptions. The ones in the poorly regarded school were excellent, with one exception. The kids that do well in her classes do so almost entirely because the parents are willing to spend unlimited resources to make up for teaching quality. The student cohort IS different. There are fewer behavior problems. She does find though that the problems at the poorly rated school are greatly exaggerated.[/quote]
