[quote=Anonymous]Clear that most posters to this thread have no clue as the 1) public school; and/or 2) how to understand statistics. It’s not worth the effort to even try to educate you all, but just consider this: 1)Public schools are forced to enroll the full range of students in a district, including the lowest performing students 2)By high school students are grouped by performance aptitude so that if your DC is a high performing there is ZERO chance they will be grouped with the lowest performing students in any academic class. 3)The lowest performing students count as students in the denominator in any % based statistic, but have ZERO impact on the academic experience of the high performing students. 4)The only meaningful comparison of students in a public school to private school would be a comparison of students with comparable performance, abilities at the time of entry.
