So it all boils down to having a positive role model, expectation of success and the desire to succeed. This is honestly nothing new. This is why students who have all of these things (primarily this comes from the home) do better than those who do not. No matter how much title one funding and special programs we throw at something, unless those 3 things are present, then forget it. [b]Why do you think schools like Whitman, Wootton and Churchill are consistently at the top? It's because the majority of the students there have all the factors that enable success. [/b]   [/quote]

This is true, if "all the factors that enable success" = money.[/quote]

Nope, not necessarily. Look at Clarksburg HS which has a 30% FARMS rate, look at the data and you'll see that Asian students there are thriving and doing very well. These are not kids from wealthy Bethesda families. Same with other schools- look at the data on Asian students. The fact is,  a lot of Asian families regardless of socioeconomic background- value education, expect success and pass this down to their children.  [/quote]
