So no one actually clicked on any of the top performers and admitted being pleasantly surprised with some of the results shown?

US News is trash, their college rankings started an arms race and helped to make higher education unaffordable. Now they're getting into the ES game too? Laughable.

This is all done using parcc scores from THREE years ago.

+1 what methodology did they use for this ranking?

As stupid at Great Schools.

This. I’ll take the start system over this. The star systems gives credit for minority performance compared to peers. A school like Shepherd or Eaton who have amongst the highest performance for black kids as well as white kids means a lot more to me.

I'm amazed to see Dorothy Height score so high.

The middle school rankings are weird because they include schools that will very soon have no middle school...

It's overenrolled with neighborhood white kids. Short of bussing out neighborhood kids elsewhere I'm not sure what you're going to do to solve this.

In other words: the neighborhood is very very white. Upper Caucasia, right?

Surprising number of so-called HRCS are ranked very low.

Congrats Ross and the other top 10s including Maury and Kipp!

This has all the makings of a 100-page thread

DCUM been sleeping on KIPP

OFFS. As if this makes any sense.
