Elgin High School - 920, 56, 984
I looked at my daughter’s high school data. Their state normed adversity score is 14 while their overall score is 20. Their median SAT is 1190, and the adjusted SAT is 1059. I honestly don’t see how this is useful unless it is a school with a very homogeneous student body. There is one school in our district where there are two distinctive groups of students: one is white and upper upper middle income, while the other is Hispanic and low income. When taken as a whole, its numbers are 11 state normed adversity score and 17 overall. Their median SAT is 1190 and their adjusted is 1059. In reality there are plenty of students who are very disadvantaged and have been since their early childhood, and plenty of very privileged students who have had every opportunity since day one.
Perhaps the important question about the school is, does it:
A. Pull the disadvantaged students up to the expectations of the advantaged students?
B. Pull the advantaged students down to the expectations of the disadvantaged students?
C. Effectively act like two segregated schools on the same campus?
Only one of the three above is desirable, but it may not be the most common in these types of situations.
