Our school has consistantly low scores on state tests. This is because of the demographic of our little town and not the quality of teaching. I believe this has actually worked to our advantage because DS really stands out and so teachers and administrators have bent over backwards to accomodate him. I think in a higher performing school, he might have blended in a bit more.
I can't promise that this will be your experience but I have seen many cases in which the lower performing schools were much better in a variety of ways than the their higher performing neighbors.
