[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]14:16, the cutoff is for all of FCPS. It has nothing to do with SES. Not sure why you think it matters which part of the county you are in.[/quote] I don't think you understood what the poster was saying. The cutoff may be the same, but the levels of the students in the classes are vastly different. Schools with higher FARMs and ESOL have on adverage lower performing school (which is evident by the overall lower test scores for those schools). The higher SES schools have overall higher test scores as a result of a higher performing student base. The difference between those who are in AAP (approx. the top 15% of performers) and the rest of the class is much different in a school that has a much higher average student than another. To put it in context, the lowest reading group in my kids GE class as at grade level. In the school my friend's daughter attends (which has a high FARMS and ESOL population) it is below grade level.
