[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]It might benefit from some more Asians, but it's also a very wealthy school and could use some diversity of income.[/quote]

And they will get that from this rezoning.  MWES is a very diverse school with a substantial FARMS rate (probably at least 35%).  The AAP center part of MWES hides the true farms rate of the population that goes to LJMS (i.e. the base school).[/quote]

Yes, but that is offset by the fact that Oakton ES has a lower FARMS percentage than Thoreau today (and, of course, a much lower percentage than Jackson as a whole).[/quote]

Not really.  The portion of OES that is involved is only half of the school (or less).  The portion of MWES that is involved, is the whole school.  So, let's say the offset of OES brings the FARMS rate down from 35% to 25%.  That's still adding economic diversity to TMS. [/quote]

You’re grasping at straws here, since you don’t know the FARMS rate of the students who are in-boundary for MWES as opposed to for the students from the four other schools that send AAP kids there. It is fairly obvious from the overall rate of 22% for the school that pulling them as well as Oakton out of Jackson, a 40% FARMS School, will increase the FARMS percentages there.[/quote]
