[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous] Actually it is you who made the leap that lower test scores automatically = "bad" schools. It has been well-established that test scores are a proxy for SES, and that a disproportionate share of poor kids in the DC area are brown or black.[/quote] When comparing SAT scores, number of AP classes, etc., those also tend to follow SES and/or demographic lines. If that's what you by well-established. Is your larger point that SAT scores, number of AP classes, etc., are irrelevant, useless metrics? That parents should not investigate academic rigor when selecting a high school? Or that some other indicators would be more useful to parents? What would those be?[/quote]
