[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]But yes- this data strongly suggests that the option schools are exacerbating segregration, not reducing it. Because it allows the more resourced families who live in the high FARMS area to transfer out- leaving the FARMS rate even higher. [/quote] Or, the opposite. The problem at Drew is because Montessori is moving out and leaving just the neighborhood program. Having the option program there was making that school much more diverse (racially and SES-wise) than it otherwise would be. [/quote] Right but it wasn't an integrated program. It was two parallel programs that shared a cafeteria and PE and art teachers. I agree that having Montessori there helped the overall % and was good for things like school fundraising and the like, but the kids in non-Montessori weren't benefiting by being in class together with Montessori.
