[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]The point is, many of the facts about a school that make it "good" or "bad" are not reflected in test scores.[/quote]

No, that's really what makes the "school" good or bad. It all boils down to grades and achievement. Everything else is detail.[/quote]

Ok then can you please show me a ranking of schools based on "grades and achievement"? Because all I see are rankings based on test scores.[/quote]

Newsflash. Test scores = grades and achievement.  Do I really have to spell out to you that I'm not talking about report cards? Are you completely stupid?[/quote]

This is not as simple as you think it is. Your black and white thinking makes me think you are in fact a teenager, in which case I'll forgive you for your naïveté. Some schools have very high test scores but are also pressure cookers full of anxious, ruthless kids. A school's culture matters. I do not want my child to emulate people who come on public sites and call people "completely stupid" and whine that thing are "none of their fucking business." Character matters.[/quote]
