[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I just think it's harder to find advanced classes in a lower SES school. [b]Plus more safety issues with the neighborhood[/b]. A school near us that is a little poorer had to stop teaching advanced math because there were only 3 kids in the grade at that level. Another school near us has two classes at that level. Also just a safer area to grow up.[/quote]

You must not be familiar with the Rt 1 corridor.  Mount Vernon has some VERY expensive, VERY nice neighborhoods - there are many neighborhoods along the Potomac River with multi-million dollar homes.  You go less than a mile to Rt. 1 and find trailer parks and apartments.  Both neighborhoods feed into the same elementary, middle and high school.  I live in Mount Vernon in a very safe, very upper middle class neighborhood.  I feel completely safe in my home and neighborhood.

And our elementary school offers advanced math.  Our middle school has Honors classes and MVHS offers the full IB diploma, plus a few AP classes, Dual Enrollment classes and Honors. [/quote]
