[quote=Anonymous]OP, thank you, thank you, thank you.

I do not have quantitative skills and the econometricians I work with do not have kids in DCPS to my knowledge so probably would not be willing to take this on in their spare time.

I am appalled by the lack of appreciation for the work you you did.  The data is out there and anyone will the right skill set can analyze it.  So far, none of the whiners have and I have not seen an analysis that contradicts what you pulled together.

I don't think tests are the end all and be all of evaluating a school.  That said, it is really helpful to have some objective data to compare the school systems that parents do try to compare regularly.  My kids are in a JKLM and we live right at the MD border.  When we moved here more than a decade ago, I was planning to move to MoCo by middle school.  We revisited that when Deal became the draw that it is today.  People that are not in DCPS have a hard time comprehending that a DCPS school could be comparable to MoCo public.
