Monroe County Schools ranked by Test Scores and Income

A popular question in Monroe county, is what is the best school district?  The answer is generally the district with the highest incomes, because they score better on the standardized tests.  But this overlooks the fact that generally higher income students will outperform low income students on tests.  By now factoring in income into the equation a false narrative develops of the best school districts.  So, what I have done is factored income into the equation in order to establish what the best school district is.  In other words do their students perform to grade level.  So, what was done is school districts were ranked by income, then using the Common Core test results, the schools were ranked in two subjects.

Very simply, the schools were given a score of minus one if they were below where they should be according to income.  Because in a vacuum the school with the highest income should score the highest on tests.  Does this punish the higher schools since they are more prone to negative scores, not really.  Because there income functions as a net, the higher income schools are only going to fall so far.  So here is the number first income.  I chose not to rate the city because they have multiple high schools and are too large to be measured by a system like this.
This is the website I used to determine a school district's wealth or income:

To see the numbers used to get this rating check the numbers below the ratings.  Without further ado, the best school districts in Monroe County rated from Best to Worst according to my formula

12. Pittsford -2
13. Victor -4
14. East Rochester -4
15. Rush Henrietta -9
16. Gates Chili -10
17. East Irondequoit -16
As one can see Brockport and West Irondequoit appear to be the two best districts in Monroe County at over performing expectations.  One should note that Brighton stayed at number 2 and Penfield was two spots above 3.  So those are 2 Top 3 schools that met or exceeded expectations.  I have a feeling my numbers on East Irondequoit income may be poor to explain such a huge drop.    As you can see most districts met or exceeded expectations with two exceptions Gates Chili and Rush Henrietta.  So, I hope people find these rankings helpful.  I was just sick of seeing lists that overrated privilege. The takeaway from this list is we have good teachers in Monroe County other then Rush Henrietta and Gates Chili.  I kid I kid.

Top Ten Reasons Lacrosse SUCKS

Had enough of those arrogant Lacrosse players.  Here are ten reasons lacrosse sucks and is the stupidest sport in America   10.  The Sport is whiter then snow.  1.9% of the players playing at Division one schools are minorities.  It is almost like non athletic whites found a loophole and a sport they can excel at, without having to worry about "brown" players showing them up. 9. Its not played in 75% of the country, high schools do not have this sport in most of the south and west.  Lacrosse is played in the pockets of upstate NY, Virginia, Maryland and some areas of California. 8.  You cannot see the stupid ball, try watching a game, you though trying to follow a hockey puck was hard. 7.  The players constant have their sticks with them, do football players wear their helmets, do basketball players dribble basketballs in the hall? No.  6.  The Jerseys, they look like football jerseys, its like saying we are football players only with smaller penises.  I mean a psych

Top 21 Reasons Wegmans SUCKS

Image
I am so sick of everybody talking about how great Wegmans is, and especially rochestarians.  This is 21 reasons that Wegmans actually sucks.  It is a response to the 25 reasons Wegmans is awesome 21.  The parking, if I wanted to have to park like I was at a sporting event I would.  I do not like spending ten minutes navigating a parking lot 20. The Limousine Liberals that frequent Wegmans.  They are all about helping the poor, as long as they are not in their grocery store. 19. The Happy Employees-  Give me the "I hate the world" mentality of the Topps employee.  I am in a grocery store I am there to shop, not find out how much you love your job.  Just scan the groceries. 18. When I am out of town, and run into somebody from Rochester.  They bring up Wegmans, not the Lilac Festival, Sea Breeze, Garbage Plates, Frederick Douglas, or Susan B Anthony.  They talk about a fucking grocery store 17.

Is Richard Davis from Flip this House Broke?

Richard Davis came hard charging into the American viewing public in 2007 as the star of the television show Flip This House.  The show featured Richard flipping houses for a profit with the help of his lovely assistant Ginger.  A lot has changed since that TV show, for one Richard married Ginger, after divorcing his wife. Richard sued A and E and won a 4 million dollar verdict.  He then launched a competing show on TLC, which failed miserably. But recently, it appears Richard and his company Trademark properties has fallen on hard times.  He was recently sued by a real estate agent for trying to nudge him out of a restaurant deal: http://www.postandcourier.com/article/20111208/PC1602/312089885 The real interesting segment of the lawsuit is where, the real estate agent contends that Richard Davis and Trademark Properties have outstanding liens and are in serious debt.  You might think this is just ramblings of a lawsuit.  Except, read this lawsuit against him from Wells Fargo, a
