To correct for these problems, the Mackinac Center for Public Policy has developed a “Context and Performance” (CAP) report card that takes high school MME and ACT scores and adjusts for student poverty level. When that happens, Covert moves from near the bottom to the very top.

I suspect that rather than being "all sciency and stuff" (a.k.a. true), the "adjustments" were made with the goal of getting this specific result.

You may want to educate yourself on the fundamentals of inferential statistics and also the orientation of the Mackinac Center. Then you won't embarrass yourself this way the next time.
