[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Recommends to use group-specific norms to bring more URM students into the HGC and magnet programs. Does 'group-specific norms' mean racial quota? Or is it social-economic based?[/quote] According to the cited paper, group-specific norms are based on socio-economic status, i.e., low-income students. Although race is generally correlated with income in most of the US, the clear goal of capturing students using group-specific norms is having a higher percentage of low-income students in these programs. In MCPS that would be correlated with blacks/hispanics, in Appalachia whites. Therefore, this method of identifying students would not benefit middle-class minority students because the cut-off scores would not be grouped by race.[/quote]
