[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]It doesn't worsen when there is no academics for everyone.  The issue is the W and some other schools get far better resources in terms of AP and honors classes and "better" teachers because of the population they serve.  They aren't going to ever close the gap as far more resources need to go to those who are struggling and many kids just slide through elementary school without the help they need (regardless of the school) and that gap continues to grow when in middle and high school they don't have the basic math and reading skills they need to succeed.[/quote]

Lol.  They get AP and honors classes because the kids there are capable of taking and passing honors and AP classes.  The curriculum is the same between schools. Poorer schools generally get more money and I guarantee you, the teachers at the W schools aren’t “better” than the other teachers in the county.  If you swapped the student body between Churchill and Einstein and left everything else the same, Einstein would suddenly become one of the “best” schools in the county.[/quote]
