[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Re the US New high school rankings, the two categories about underserved students sound really similar, and collectively skew in rankings in my opinion. I don't think I understand how they are different. The publication ranks Banneker higher than SWW, but SWW has a higher graduation rate, more kids taking and passing APs, more breadth to the average AP load, higher SAT/ACT scores. Not to mention (although this is subjective) better college placement. [/quote]

Of course Walls has better SATs and college placement than Banneker - Banneker is nearly 1/3 at-risk while Walls is only 8%. Walls kids are, by large, wealthy/privileged/and college legacies. Compare the at risk performance of the two schools so you can compare like to like. Anyone comparing overall outcomes is just silly and has never taken a statistics course. [/quote]

But if my kid is not at-risk, I would prefer Walls. If I had a kid in the at-risk category, it sounds like Banneker would be a better choice. [/quote]
