[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]The real question for Maury remains whether its scores will ever climb to the levels met by better performing schools.[/quote]

Nah, that's not the real question.  The real question is how many high-SES families will stick around in the upper grades in years to come.  When droves of high-SES families stick around, the scores invariably shoot up to the point where they're no longer worth discussing. e.g. Lafayette with 90%+ scoring proficient and around half scoring advanced.

It depends on how to define high SES. Some would define my SES as high, others would call it "decidedly middle class" -- at least according to two women at the Foxhall Starbucks two years ago. Nonetheless, in a city demanding school choice, I take my children's high scores to schools where others score high as well. After all, I want them to follow mommy into law school. Right now, Maury just doesn't cut it. Who knows? Maybe Maury's scores will rise, but I'm not waiting. They're only little once.[/quote]
