[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Wonder why Centreville HS is always kind of low. It's a 6 now. My husband wants to move, but I LOVE my neighborhood and our ES is wonderful (Colin Powell). Centreville HS feeds from Liberty MS which is an 8 and has rave reviews from everyone I speak to. It also feeds from Rocky Run MS which is a 9 and another amazing school. Any theories?[/quote] The demographics of Liberty and Centreville match up pretty closely. Centreville also picks up some AAP kids from Rocky Run who don't end up at TJ. Could be that there's just more emphasis on the SOLs at Liberty than at Centreville. Some schools really, really care about SOLs as a way to boost school ratings. Others don't care so much. Centreville may fall in the latter category. Also, if there are a lot of kids taking some of the math SOLs in middle school, it can drive down the average scores at the HS level. I certainly wouldn't move if you like your current school and neighborhood. [/quote]
