There's no such thing as a "definitive" study.  This is the social science field; they're currently in the midst of a replication crisis because a large portion of the studies they've done can't be replicated.  Do researchers study the effects of this integration on the higher performing students?  Most studies I've read don't, and from what I've seen education researchers don't really care.  The government tried something like this on a large scale (moving to opportunity) and there were no educational gains.  In fact, almost all educational interventions show no lasting gains.

Honestly, if this integration was a magic bullet then the problem would have been solved by now.  What are you going to suggest we do once this also fails?

Please actually read the study before you dismiss it: https://tcf.org/assets/downloads/tcf-Schwartz.pdf[/quote]

The study clearly finds that there is zero benefit to poorer children once FARMs rate rises above 20%. MCPS is 35% FARMs. So. If the board gets its wish and “levels the playing field” to 35% FARMs rate across every school, there would be no measurable improvement in performance. There would however be a massive disruption in the real estate market and a lot of people will lose a lot of money. For nothing other that getting to say “look at how woke we are.”[/quote]
