[quote=Anonymous]Greatschools isn't the be all and end all, but they do break down test scores by ethnicity, so you can get a sense of how black students do at a school compared to the school overall. For example, 2 of the schools you mentioned - Yorktown & Langley: Yorktown is an 8 overall, but a 2 for black students. http://www.greatschools.org/virginia/arlington/135-Yorktown-High-School/?tab=ratings Langley is a 9 overall, but an 8 for black students. http://www.greatschools.org/virginia/mclean/529-Langley-High-School/?tab=ratings When looking at schools, it was important for me that there wasn't a large gap between the test scores of the ethnic group my kid is in and the test scores of the student population overall.
