[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I am simply going by scores published by MCPS.

Churchill - 1326 ( Special Education)

Just to put some comparison with other schools in region,

BCC -  1519
WJ - 1421
Whitman - 1623
Wootton - 1399
RM - 1615
Einstein - 1436
Watkins mill - 1550

There could be some magnet effect in some schools, but lots of schools have higher scores than Churchill. Churchill is a very well off area and parents have resource to help kids and yet scores are poor when compared to many other schools. Am I missing something here?

Not the main topic, but Chuchill does equally poor with FARMs students as well despite having advantage of having so few FARMs. Looks like one of the worst schools for disadvantage kids.

Churchill doesn’t do poorly with farms, there is only a very small population that would struggle anywhere. There simply aren’t any hard working motivated farm populations nearby to cover them up statistically. Goes to show you the whole BS narrative about putting poor kids in with successful kids being this magic fix all. [/quote]
Whitman has a tiny % of FARMs, yet their scores are higher than those in Churchill. [/quote]

They are not a legacy pocket of poverty, the Whitman farms are typically motivated foreigners who went there for the opportunity. [/quote]
