[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Isn't the definition "at risk" rather than "economically disadvantaged" ? "At risk" just means homeless, foster care, or qualify for TANF, right? That still makes "not at risk" a pretty broad category. A straightforward SES measure like HHI would be much better. It's frustrating that DC doesn't collect/provide that as a variable.[/quote] From the Empower site: "In 2023, OSSE switched from reporting 'At-risk' to 'Economically Disadvantaged' student groups. The universe of students in these two groups nearly overlaps. The only difference are the few students in high school who were overage for their grade and not economically disadvantaged. The number of students in that group is too small to affect citywide rates, so we continue to use the 'at-risk' label. It is possible that at a select few high schools the difference could be more significant."[/quote]
