[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I wonder if a closer look at the SES and demographics among black families between the two might tell the story. Does one neighborhood have more ESOL kids or more newly arrived immigrant families that might disadvantage school performance. Or if FARMS rates are similar are the kids at PBES comparatively poorer and thus more likely to have other environmental disadvantages?[/quote] None of the above. Piney Branch has a lower FARMS rate and a lower ESOL rate than the other schools in the area, and the disadvantaged kids they have are comparatively better off than in surrounding schools. Rolling Terrace is Title I, which demonstrates just how high needs their student population is. It also gives them extra resources, but no, the issue is not that poor kids at PBES are poorer. This is about the school. [/quote]
