[quote=Anonymous]Here is their explanation of the methodology: [url]https://www.usnews.com/education/k12/articles/how-us-news-calculated-the-rankings [/url] 50% due to math/reading scores and 50% math/reading scores adjusted for underrepresented minorities (lumped together) + % of students receiving free lunch. For DCPS at title 1 schools the % receiving free lunch gets inflated for schools where then number exceeds a threshold (e.g. 40% -> 100%). This may explain in part why DCPS title 1 schools did a bit better in rankings than otherwise would have been expected. Hard to say how much this "error" matters. Overall it's a really interesting undertaking and definitely adds another perspective. I also don't think populations of underrepresented minorities have the same SES in DC in different neighborhoods. URM WOTP are probably a lot higher SES than URM EOTR.[/quote]
