[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]They will have the best facilities of all the highschools in the US after the 100 million renovation work.[/quote]

And the 20 million for the research labs/equipments raised privately with donations.[/quote]

The best facilities/equipments of the school will finally match [b]the best students in the country[/b] to form the best high school in the world.[/quote]

:lol:

Now THAT is funny![/quote]

"Students at Thomas Jefferson, a magnet school for the regions' brightest children, did the best on the assessment, far exceeding their U.S. peers and those in Shanghai, China, who rank among the best in the world on the PISA test."

Not that not-so-great-at-reporting-factually guy again.  :roll:

Read the source report - especially chapter 5:

The section 5 states TJ's mean scores for Reading, Math and Science are [b]higher than Shanghai's mean scores[/b] for Reading, Math and Science. Shanghai has the highest PISA scores of all the countries that participated including US.   [/quote]

Precisely.  ONE school versus the mean scores across MANY schools.[/quote]

Exactly. Shanghai is touted as having the highest PISA scores in the world and much, much higher than US scores. I don't think they break down the scores for Shanghai or at least the data is not available. if you have the data of Shanghai schools or of a school that has higher scores than TJ, please post them. I do not know of any. Of all the known scores, TJ has the highest scores, higher than Shanghai scores. That was the point and that was what was stated before you implied that was factually incorrect. That information is factually correct. [/quote]
