| Comment | I did not at any point say that people should go out of their way to send their kids to a "bad school", however it isn't as cut as dry as X school is bad and Y school is good. There are over 300 schools on the league table, so where does the line sit that determines "good school" and "bad school"?
That's a very basic view of something where the data and statistics are not as linear and don't have a "pass" or "fail" type ranking.
Not that I would use this method but you can't even use the half-way point (168) as a marker for good or bad as the disparity between the too and the bottom to that middle point is not equal or even remotely in the middle ground.
Example
1. Jordanhill School, Glasgow City (Grant Aided) (88)
2. Mearns Castle High School, East Renfrewshire (75) (added this as I know there's varying views about Jordanhill being on the list at all)
168. Kirkwall Grammar School, Orkney Islands (33)
336. Lochend Community High School, Glasgow City (9) |
