All schools are different with diffent populations and cultures.
Many students were not born in the US and must spend time catching up. This is never taken into consideration. I myself am in the IB program but attend a school with both IB and traditional students. A school may test well, but that only shows a small percentage of what a school is really like. And, performance standards, especially at the elementary and middle levels don't show the entire learning situation for the child.
