[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Demographics are (almost always) destiny sadly. Diluting the overall proportion of at-risk kids might in fact make thing easier for current teachers/staff at Miner, and I don’t think that’s an improper metric to consider. But the impact on the academic outcomes of at-risk kids will likely be nil to negligible, as their problems stem from out-of-school factors that the school - no matter how structured - can’t be expected overcome. On the other hand, UMC folks might find that things continue pretty much the same for their kids. Sure, maybe less convenient for some and maybe less narrowly “neighborhoody”, but I’m not sure those are factors DCPS should consider at the outset. At any rate, howl loud enough and it’s probably dead in the water. Congratulations. [/quote] Pretty much. Slice and dice most DC school's data and the high SES kids do well regardless.[/quote]
