Dennis Roberts (2006), in his post of 4 May 2006 to EvalTalk and EdStat titled "Ratings of US High Schools" wrote [bracketed by lines "RRRRRRR. . . ."; ellipses "..." in the original; slightly edited]:
RRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRR
A Washington Post Education writer, Jay Mathews, came up with a system that essentially does the following:
HS Rating = (# of HS students in 2005 who have taken Advanced
Placement or International Baccalaureate TESTS) / (# of graduating seniors) ...
This value is calculated ... then the ratings for 1000 HSchools are shown.
I would be interested in ANY discussion ANY of you have related to this matter
