It's an imperfect system that everyone clamored for at the time. Everyone, that is, except the teachers, who knew at the time that there is no "right size" way to assess attainment.
Having said that, there is an obvious disparity between the lowest performing schools, in the poorest areas and the highest performing, in the wealthy suburbs. Also, I cannot think of a good way to assess quality of education, either, and that is the conundrum.
