[quote=Anonymous]Great schools is a factor of msa scores.  In general, higher farms lower scores.  There are a few exceptions but it is very difficult to believe the numbers given the cheating that has gone on.

When looking at the scores and evaluating programs, such as Highland View.  Please look at the Science scores.  Science scores can be really telling, in general they are lower at all schools.  Why because they are measured but do not count against AYP or in great schools.  Also, schools cut science and other class for reading and math.  Usually schools with higher farms have less hours devoted to extras or they have the same hours and pull kids out of class for review of MSA material.

Lower scoring schools are a problem because schools are focused on making AYP and they will do dramatic things to make it.  Such as weekly pre and post test, daily or weekly review of materials.  I have no issue with this if only the failing students were required to do this but at some schools everyone is required to do this.

[quote=Anonymous]Why do all of the schools on  greatschools that have very low ratings and 
test scores have a higher rate of free and reduced lunches. I dont think race is an issue .[/quote][/quote]
