[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]So does MCPS educate children from educated families well or not?[/quote]

Sure. The schools in the western/wealthy/white clusters are great schools. Just ask DCUM.[/quote]

It's hard to make a data-driven argument here. There's no data on outcomes for kids from "educated families." The best we have is racial demographics, so people use performance by white and Asian kids as a proxy for affluence and parent education levels. Going by that, the data look good -- white and Asian kids do relatively well on state tests and AP exams. Of course, we know the reality is more complicated than that, but the numbers look fine.

standardized test scores does not equate to being educated well nor to potential in class. [/quote]

OK. Then how do you know that Orinda public schools educate children from educated families well? Or any other school/school district?

Also, did you really just post that on a thread that's going on at great length about standardized test scores as the only proper and just way to determine who is smart enough to deserve admission to magnet schools?[/quote]
