So actually, when you say "school performance", you don't mean "student performance from that school", you mean "average school test scores,"[/quote]
 
Test scores are an objective way of telling student performance. They are not exact the same but in this case I don't see why you have to distinguish them

Will your kid get lower test scores if your kid goes to a school with lower average school test scores? And, if so, then why wouldn't it work the other way - a kid will get higher test scores if the kid goes to a school with higher average school test scores?[/quote]

(1). Whether a kid will perform worse by going to a school with lower average performance? I don't know. But as I said, many parents do care if their kids are among good performers, for various reasons.
(2). "why wouldn't it work the other way - a kid will get higher test scores if the kid goes to a school with higher average school test scores?" 
why ask me? did I say it would not work the other way? I think I was suggesting this would be "sacrifice one group for the good of another". It may work the other way, but that is not the point. The point is that people are ignoring (1).

If your kid were getting transferred from Whitman (for example) to James Garfield HS in East LA in 1980, then yes, that would be a concern.

But your kid isn't.[/quote]
