[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]For purposes of DCUM, SES is not just about money, but the willingness and ability of parents to support and advance their kid's academics. Two tenured math/English professors at GMU won't be rich by DCUM standards, but boy will their kids have plenty of support that many others won't. So a neighborhood ES around GMU might have a student body that scores very high on standardized tests and have fewer disruptions in class due to at-home influences, relative to the rest of FCPS. This also leads to stiffer competition in this neighborhood for outcomes that have geographic quotas or quota-like admissions (e.g. TJ admissions). [/quote] We're in one of those neighborhoods - lots of GMU professors at birthday parties my kids attend and indeed those kids are well supported at home - and yet I don't think DCUM considers us as anything more than mid-SES.[/quote]
