Here is a link to a nice explanation of the school grade computations at the heart of the Bennett resignation.  I think it illustrates very nicely the complexity and arbitrary nature of these school rating systems. http://www.slate.com/articles/news_and_politics/do_the_math/2013/08/tony_bennett_education_an_astoni...

The EGHS 2012 and 2013 results also reflect a change in the way the rating was computed according to a complicated and, ultimately, somewhat arbitrary system.
