[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][i]And to me, the question isn't so much whether the neighborhood parents think it's a decent school (some do, some don't) -- it's the criteria they're using. LT is consistently portrayed as inferior to Maury, despite having considerably more kids performing at an advanced level. If you suspect (as I do) that's because Maury has more white kids, then you might fault the portrayer & not the school.[/i]

Maury has far more high SES students (translation: neighborhood kids) in the pipeline for the testing grades than LT, not just more white kids.  This means that we're going to see more kids performing at an advanced level at Maury than LT within another two or three years.   Since this is a no brainer, your insistence that L-T is the better school motivates me to fault the portrayer and not the pps complaining that LT lags behind Maury....

But LT *already* has better scores, without the high-SES kids you seem to think are necessary to achieve that. What school is better, the one that's able to teach the kids they have, or the one that's counting on high-SES kids (presumed to be better prepared) to get its scores up?[/quote]

YES +1,000![/quote]
