[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Can someone explain how they arrived at their fr/l calculations for the presentation? Because maybe this isn't so bad for Drew after all. If the calculated fr/l numbers are much higher than the current actual numbers, what can Drew expect? For instance, here are the actual 2017 fr/l percentages by school vs. the calculated % in the presentation:

Abingdon: 47.16% vs. 52%
Barcroft: 59.67% vs. 62%
Henry: 31.59% vs. 29%
Hoffman Boston: 49.16% vs. 70%
Oakridge: 25.28% vs. 28%
Randolph: 73.67% vs. 92%

Do if Drew is calculated to be 85%, what is the actual? Seems like it, too, would be significantly lower? Maybe more like 65%?

Hard to say, but I doubt it'll drop more han 10 points if it does. Hoffman's rate is being cut in half because it's sending a lot of poor kids in Nauck back to Drew, for example, not because of the vagaries of resident vs enrolled students. Randolph appears to be a distinct case; the difference there may be because it sends Spanish speaking kids who are disadvantaged to claremont. The other schools on your list barely change. So I'd say Drew probably won't change much.[/quote]
