[quote=Anonymous]The problem with rankings, and low-ranked schools, is that there are so many factors. Our low-ranked school is also one of a handful of magnet schools for kids with learning disabilities. So, people look at the FARMS rate and assume the issue is a high needs student population (and part of it is), but the whole picture isn't seen. Similarly, a higher-ranked school might have a language immersion magnet (which draws motivated students with involved parents) or HGCs that bring up the overall "ranking" of the school without really impacting the education for kids not in those magnets. So...yeah. I've talked about how we like our "low ranked" school before on DCUM and have been flat-out told I'm either lying or don't care enough about my kids. So I've stopped talking about it, and I doubt I'm the only one. I'll just enjoy our small class sizes, involved parent community, and excellent education, and let it remain a secret. [/quote]
