[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Frost has about 150 AAP kids per grade... their admit rate is 14%,

Lake  Braddock has 190 AAP kids per grade... but the admit rate is 10%

The raw numbers tell a misleading story.[/quote]

You guys should stop using the word "misleading" whenever something doesn't fit your preferred narrative.  It's ironic that, in a thread that in part is about a STEM school, you'd find numbers threatening. [/quote]

Not threatening... just misleading.  The raw numbers were being used to conclude that certain schools are better than others.  That may be true, but not to the extent that the raw numbers suggest.  That IS misleading.  Not threatened at all.  I just like statistical honesty.... your school probably still beats mine... but not by as much as you like to think![/quote]

I wouldn't go by numbers of kids in each grade, I would only consider the number of kids who actually applied and then the percentage of that number that were accepted. Not every kid in the grade is necessarily interested in STEM, so not every kid would apply.
