[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]How is that tier 1 if they're not learning the language well and the test scores are pretty low for[b] such a wealthy student body[/b]?[/quote] There are some well-off families at Yu Ying, but it's not a "wealthy student body" in the sense of the upper NW DCPS schools. Most of the YY families are priced out of the JKLM markets and live in relatively poorer parts of the city -- they're closer to "actual middle class" than to "DC middle class." While the school's FARM numbers may be in line with the JKLM schools, the "middle 50%" is not nearly as well off.[/quote] So, now we're supposed to accept the fact that a school's student body is upper middle class, but not "DCUM upper middle class" as a reason to adjust our expectations? Like living in Brookland in a home that's only worth 3/4 of a million, and being driven around in a Honda instead of a BMW is such hardship that it impacts kids' learning? [/quote]
