[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Except that the choice schools already have more "diversity" than most neighborhood schools. Claremont is just under the title I threshold at 38%. Key is at 41%. Campbell is always at around 55%. Even ATS is at 26%, which is not as much as it needs to be, but respectable. Much more an white parents start to complain. Sorry, but putting more "diversity" (ATS could use a bit more) will just turn the choice schools into lower performing schools. Campbell does OK, but there are A LOT of supports for those kids there. The problem is the neighborhood schools' lack of diversity and VPI. Not choice schools.[/quote] Except, ATS' FRL is as high as it is because of the addition of VPI classes. That proves the point of VPIs being able to diversify schools. But it is also centrally located. As you move farther away from the poorest neighborhoods, VPI isn't going to be as effective a tool. Claremont also has VPI classes which feed into Kindergarten; so it's FRL is higher, on top of the kids who would have been there anyway without the VPI entre'.[/quote]
