[quote=Anonymous][quote]I don't know what the average SAT scores at Mountain Brook High School have to do with the quality of Alabama's educational standards. SAT scores are closely correlated with socioeconomic status. Mountain Brook High School doesn't seem to publish its demographics, but I'm guessing they're not very representative of the state as a whole.* In Alabama as a whole, half of children live in households at 200% of the poverty level or less; 40% live in households at 150% of the poverty level or less. The FARMS income eligibility limit is 185% of the poverty level or less.[/quote] Exactly. It's not the "standards" that make the difference, it is the socioeconomic status. Sad. If you want to change things, you need to get people jobs. [/quote]
