[quote=Anonymous]To me those test scores show the socio-economic diversity of the schools. Those at the bottom have more recent immigrants and lower income kids from surrounding neighborhoods. If you actually look at test scores broken down, college bound kids are scoring just fine in those lower-tier schools. The other thing that I appreciate is meeting all the Academy kids (eg orthodontics) that work in offices as young adults around our neighborhood. Those kids who are college-bound initially, if given guidance, can get an academy education that allows them to work after HS. Takes personal motivation by the student though and there's a subset who aren't that motivated.[/quote]
