[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]That area is part of a consortium giving people some choice in HS...though Blair is often considered the strongest option.[/quote]

You mean the 4/10 high school is the strongest?[/quote]

... have you missed all the explanations about why GreatSchools doesn't actually tell you how good schools are in general, and why it's especially unhelpful for Blair in particular?[/quote]

Unfortunately Greatschools went woke a year or two ago, so it's not even that reliable a source anymore.  They use nonsense factors like equity and diversity now which are odd ways to measure academic success.  Hopefully a competitor will emerge that normal people can use to judge a school's fit for their family.[/quote]

If by woke, you mean uses a new algorithm that assigns lower scores to diverse schools then sure. Their current methodology favors homogenous schools. This isn't a surprise since their primary income is the real estate industry and nothing quite boosts home values like inciting fear about good and bad schools.[/quote]
