[quote=Anonymous]the tables have some inconsistencies - the "student transfer regulation transfer" (STRT) columns are apparently the pupil placements - in the case of Madison and Marshall, presumably for IB & AP respectively.

For Madison, the table shows that for STRT, 107 students transferred IN while 105 students transferred OUT.  Another 53 went to TJHSST.  The summary numbers for the IN are correct but the summary numbers for OUT do not equal the sum of the various columns (198 vs. 209 total).

For Marshall, the table shows that for STRT, 229 transfers IN and 60 transfers OUT.  Another 51 went to TJHSST.  But the total reported transfers IN are 258 (vs. 245 as sum of columns) and 194 OUT (vs. 168 as sum of columns).

Given these discrepancies it's unclear what can be gleaned from this data.  The loss of good students to TJHSST is about equal.  The IN transfers (STRT) to Marshall are either 77 or 64 - it appears that these are IB students.

The Madison numbers are more intriguing - 105 STRT are OUT, perhaps making up the bulk of the 229 STRT INs at Marshall?  But only 60 students are STRT OUT from Marshalland presumably going to AP at Madison?  So where are the other 47 students doing STRT transfers IN to Madison coming from - presumably area AP schools?  for sports?

Appreciate any help/guidance in analyzing/contextualizing this data...[/quote]
