Minorities seem to have low test scores (2/10). Great schools factors that in much more now than before. Sport/extracurricular and community feel are not factored in even though this might be more important for the high school experience for many students compared to other high schools.

Ah yes, another DCUM racist. Hi!


NP. Why would someone saying a school is average be racist?


Because this is the refrain on DCUM. You all hate QO because it has a higher FARMS rate, which pulls its performance down, versus the W schools.


First, saying a school is average isn’t hating a school. Second, are you suggesting people shouldn’t look at performance when assessing a school?

If you want to argue that non-FARMS kids at QO do as well as similar kids at other schools, that’s fine. But that wouldn’t change that the overall school may be average. “Average” can’t just look at the top performing kids.

PP, that's incomplete, at best. Obviously you need to spend more time on DCUM!

Wootton looks down on Quince Orchard because Quince Orchard has more poor kids (which, strictly speaking, isn't racist but rather classist). But Quince Orchard looks down on Northwest because Northwest has more non-white kids (which actually is racist).


Well, sure. Though, honestly, FARMS is a rough proxy for race, sadly.

Not everything is about race. Give it a rest.


Ah, but it is. Because if QO had a different demographic composition, the test scores would be different and you all wouldn’t be disparaging the school.

If QO had the FARMS rate of Wootton or Whitman, you wouldn’t be saying it’s average. Also, the USNWR rating is quite good, but you conveniently ignore that.

Right — pick the site that confirms your opinion. Ignore USNWR.

GS is trash, but here's what would worry me if I were a QO parent: every single demographic group appears to be underperforming, or just barely overperforming, compared to state averages for that group.

Look at the scores by sub-groups, and you'll see no group is really outperforming the state average. That's alarming, because QO is a pretty middle class school, so all groups should be doing relatively well.
