[quote=Anonymous]Does MCPS still have Focus schools? It wasn't only based on FARMS but it used to be schools that had a certain percentage of FARMS qualified as Title I schools. This was federal funds and did things like limit class sizes. Then there was the next tier of FARMS percentages which qualified for Focus schools and this was locally funded. And did similar things such as limit class sizes, which may have been slightly bigger then classes at Title I schools. I'm all for closing the gap and providing resources to help do so. But while there are some benefits to balancing out schools, I don't think it really solves the problems and just dilutes the numbers. So the poor performing students will still perform poorly but it's not as big of a percentage at the school if there is a mix of high performing students.[/quote]
