[quote=Anonymous]And-- take the TC test score stats available from the state. You can see that quite a lot of TC kids have excellent test scores. You can have a large school with low mean test scores and low medians, yet nonetheless have a sizeable number of kids who do spectacularly well. Anyone making decisions about TC based on means and medians will miss the more important question, which is: how will a bright kid with a supportive family fare at TC? Answer: most bright kids do fine. Does this make TC the right choice for every kid. Of course not. I plan to send one kid to TC and the other to a private HS, b/c I think one kid will thrive at TC and the other won't. But as ever, it's not about whether TC is "good" or "bad"-- it reflects the diverse strengths and challenges of the population it draws on, and works well for some kids, not so well for others.
