[quote=Anonymous]I think this is a fascinating sociological argument. I think that demographics are very important. The leading indicators are education, HHI, education of parents etc. Race is not an indicator of success I.e. It doesn't really matter if you're black or white (thanks Michael) but I think cultural influence is. That's why first and second generation Africans perform so well. I believe that if a new school with top teachers and a rockstar head opens in ward 5 the current demographics of the total ward will have it ending up being a subpar school. I think the scores and outcomes of the students today would be much better than say 10 years ago but no one can honestly say that they would rival a school with only inbound ward 3 kids. Also ending the OOB would cause a new wave of suburban flight. That's a guarantee. [/quote]
