Those numbers are irrelevent to us

We have to compare the affordable private schools nearby and the public school assigned to our kids. The best, the top of the world private school more than 20 miles away is meaningless to me; by the same token, the very desireable public school just a few blocks away is a few blocks too far -- my kids are not assigned to it. Most of us are limited by our pocket and choices. Make the best of those is the key. Some people have the money to choose and pick, of cause.

Those statistics are more meaningful to DOE.
