[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Janney's scores are going down because it's so crowded. No longer the best, but still a very good school.[/quote]

Not sure if it was ever considered the best. Def top 5.[/quote]

I'm truly curious how all these posters are even making any of these ranking judgments. Is it purely on the basis of test scores? If so, that's a pretty useless metric at this level (when we are talking schools with a generally high level of proficiency). As someone whose kids are not yet at Janney, it would be interesting to hear something about the more important factors that go into assessing the quality of a school. You know, principal, teachers, special programs, extra-curricular offerings, facilities, aftercare, etc. Crowding has been mentioned, but from what I have heard from Janney parents and on this board, the class sizes (outside of a couple of recent balloon grades) are actually not that big and have been going down lately. The Janney parent community has been maligned, but those rumors haven't corresponded to my experience of actual parents I have met in real life.

Ultimately, the premise of the thread is as ridiculous as many of the responses.[/quote]
