A school might have a high passrate, but a lower participation rate -- which could mean that relatively few students take the harder courses, but they do well.  And vice versa.  A school could have a high number of tests per student, but have a low passrate b/c more kids are trying AP classes, even if they aren't fully successful.

yes... I have too much time on my hands.
