[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I didn't read this thoroughly but this might explain some of it: http://www.usnews.com/education/best-high-schools/articles/how-us-news-calculated-the-rankings Just skimming through the beginning, it looks like the US News methodology is changing to match the state's. With the state's new model, one of the factors is the gap reduction. Where they look at how the lowest performing groups did and the difference from the top. The smaller the gap, the better the score and ranking. Skimming through the link above it mentions looking at disadvantaged groups and seeing how they performed against their peers across the state as well. So what it kind of means is that schools won't just be carried by their top performing students anymore.[/quote] TJ has been complained too white and too asian in the last few years. It is still #5. In this sense, it is very hard to justify MoCo HS ranking deterioration due to "gap reduction". [/quote]
