Come back in a few months and the scores will vary widely because they tweaked their methodology again.  The best way to keep getting attention is to change the ratings periodically. [/quote]

I mean, if you viewed the score more as a range of +/- 1, the list is fairly close to how most honest people would rank the schools. [/quote]

These track pretty well with ESL %. Certainly the top and bottom. Remember what the root cause is that is driving many people to avoid certain schools (even if they refuse to admit it). And driving the extreme fear of boundary changes.[/quote]

Good point to keep in mind that the root cause is wanting your child to get the best education possible. Sometimes people pretend like there is something sinister afoot, but that’s really the first principle.[/quote]

But you have to ask yourself - why aren't the FCPS schools more alike? Why can't my child get the same education at Lewis that they can get at West Springfield?[/quote]
