[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]No what I’m pointing out is that people say Walls has better test scores than Banneker. I’m saying you have to consider that in light of Banneker’s 3x higher, 69 percent Black population, a population that underperforms on tests independent of everything else. They are likely educating very well but test scores aren’t the best way to see that. That’s the whole point. [/quote] Black kids don’t under-perform just because they are black. It is not race related and independent of everything else. It is because they are behind in content knowledge, analysis, etc… due to coming from poorly performing and low resourced schools. They, as a race, also tend to have much higher truancy rates. They also have higher rates of trauma and poverty which affects performance in school. Factors above and such are related to poverty and low SES. [/quote]
