Center schools are twice big as local schools or sometimes three times, so you don't think there are more kids and more of smart kids there?[/quote]
Where did you get this notion?  My kids' center school is about the same size as each feeder school.  Many of the feeder schools have more kids in K-2 than the center, with the total enrollment in the center rising for 3-6 AAP, and the enrollment falling in the base schools in 3-6 due to AAP transfers out. [/quote]

Our center school has 12 classrooms for K-2 total but local schools have about 6 [/quote]

where do you get your data? 6 classes for k-12 are 2 per grade. That is approximately [b]500-550 kids [/b]per school. no fx schools are so small. Schools in fx are generally overcrowded.

FC is much bigger than what you can imagine, there are many schools that are much smaller than center schools in size.  There are about 4-5 local schools in that size in my area too.  You can disagree all you want and you can believe what you see in your area is all there is. All I'm saying is that from my personal observation, I see that my friends' kids got much higher GBRS from local schools than center schools.  I'm sure whatever that actually means and how it's directly related to their overall results depends on each file but I'm just commenting what I've observed from several friends of mine.   [/quote]

I stand corrected!

Based on what you are saying, if local schools have 6 classes total for k-2, and if those classes range from 20-30 kids in size (and I'm being very generous with the 30), we can assume that the school will have 6 classes total from 3-6, assuming consistent enrollment.

so: 20 kids/class * 12 classes = 240 kids
      30 kids/class * 12 classes = 360 kids

So you are saying that schools with 240-360 kids per school is the norm in FX county?[/quote]
