Many incorrectly assume that schools with higher averages on standardized test have higher performing students when more often than not these schools simply have fewer low-income students.

In another thread, one poster performed a more nuanced analysis to isolate for socioeconomic differences across MCPS high-schools. Their point was that simple averages are meaningless since they mainly tell us about an area's demographic makeup not how well kids with similar backgrounds perform. Further, schools like the W’s get this artificial boost because their gerrymandered boundaries contain few low-income students. The SAT averages for several schools for a common demographic cohort provides a more accurate picture of how similar students perform at these schools.

[b]You know that this data is not accurate. The link that you attached doesn't even work. [/b]On other thread you have provided a link to a non-official file not located on the county or state's website. Where is your fake file?[/quote]

Here's the link to the MCPS data that says otherwise. Enjoy :D
