[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]In the context of MCPS, these gaps should be examined. [b]Unlike Detroit, where all groups score low[/b], all groups score relatively high in MCPS, and therefore an analysis (at the very least) of these gaps is appropriate. Leave it to Mathews to find the one non-example of a concept and try to extrapolate it. I do think MCPS has very little idea of how to close the gap other than throw money at it. Really, this just seems like click bait for people who have no direct benefit of a focus on the achievement gap (the vast majority of people on this board). Mission accomplished, Jay. [/quote]

Where do you get your data from?  Detroit "the city" has a minority population of virtually 100% and additionally  virtually 100% poor in the public schools.  They don't have a county based system like Maryland.  So to see high acheivers which there are plenty of you have to look outside of the city.   You can't compare demographics trends in Detroit to here because there is no diversity in the city at all.[/quote]
