Rethinking Public School Rankings
Summary
Our society constantly engages in comparisons. We want to know who's leading the polls, which car offers the best gas mileage, and which sports team reigns supreme. We compare towns for family-friendliness and income levels, and even assess the carb content in ice cream. We critique our bodies against those on TV, question if we’re thin enough, or if we drive the fastest car. Even newborns aren't exempt from these comparisons. Naturally, we also want to know how our children’s schools measure up. But why are public school rankings necessary?
Some progressive school districts are moving away from traditional rankings altogether. They argue that all schools within their areas are excellent and can prove it. By stepping away from ranking systems, these districts focus on ensuring all schools and students achieve their best. This approach might seem unconventional, but it challenges the notion that ranking is essential to success.
Key Approaches of Non-Ranking School Systems
Rigorous Standards:
These districts maintain high standards for every school, setting expectations and goals that are consistently met without relying on rankings.
Talented Teachers:
They emphasize hiring dedicated teachers committed to excellence. Many teachers hold National Board certifications, ensuring high-quality education.
Comprehensive Curriculum:
The curriculum is designed to meet and exceed both state and federal guidelines, ensuring that every student receives a superior education without the need for ranking comparisons.
State-of-the-Art Facilities:
These schools ensure their facilities are modern and well-maintained, providing a conducive learning environment free from issues like mold or outdated technology.
High Student Expectations:
Students are challenged to meet and exceed academic and extracurricular expectations. Success is reflected in honors and awards across various levels, without the pressure of school rankings.
While many systems still depend on rankings to judge success, some schools demonstrate that expecting excellence from all can achieve remarkable results without rankings. By fostering an environment of universal high standards, these districts show that greatness doesn’t need comparison.
