[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]What would demographic information on PARCC reveal about at risk population? Are you assuming the every black kid is at risk? This thread seems kind of racist. Why not homeschool your snowflake if you can’t deal with the dynamics of city life. [/quote]

So, once upon a time people on this board made the mostly correct assumption (in DC) that all of the white kids are high SES.

Through stereotyping and incorrect logic some people sometimes assume that black means poor in DC, which anyone who has lived in this city for a decent amount of time knows is not the case.  Many middle and upper middle class black families live in our region.  More in PG than in the city itself, but still many in the city.[/quote]

I think it's insane that people think I came up with the "at risk" term on my own as a euphemism for "black people." Here's the actual definition: https://dcpsbudget.com/budget-model/at-risk-funding/

The enrollment audit collects data on the number of "at risk" students attending a school because it impacts the funding formula. PARCC used to report "at risk" demographics and switched to "economically disadvantaged" last year. The Empower site says the only difference in terms is that "economically disadvantaged" does not include students in high school who were overage for their grade, while "at risk" does.[/quote]
