[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Outside of top 5 private, I will be careful.[/quote]

There are many good privates beyond the top five and as mentioned, they blow away the W schools in the rankings.  Only one W school in the top 20...the rest are privates, TJ, and a magnet.[/quote]

Looks like it’s 2 magnets, Whitman, and McLean. And there are no non-magnets until Whitman at #18. Amazing how that can happen, despite no acceleration in math or STEM in general.’It goes:

1. GDS

2. Sidwell

3. TJ

4. NCS

5. BASIS McLean

6. Madeira

7. St Alban’s

8. Holton

9. Potomac

10. Episcopal

11. Landon

12. Maret

13. St. Anselm’s

14. WIS

15. Poolesville

16. Georgetown Prep

17. Rochambeau

18. Whitman

19. Stone Ridge

20. McLean [/quote]

Ranking has 50% weight for state assessment proficiency, SAT/ACT scores etc. These scores have 1 to 1 relationship with socioeconomic status of families. Obviously only handful of publics are going to appear in such lists.

Private school kids don’t take state tests. But continue to try to justify.[/quote]

50% weight is for something which is not really telling you much. Ranking has 50% weight for state assessment proficiency, SAT/ACT scores etc.

I am not here to convince you, simply share what I found.

It seems like a useless ranking then. [/quote]

Once again — that’s for districts. Not individual schools.[/quote]

No it’s not. Someone above posted the K-12 ranking methodology. https://www.niche.com/k12/rankings/methodology/
