[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I went to Oakland Mills back at the beginning of this graph. Pretty amazing how things have changed.. [img]https://howardcounty640805081.files.wordpress.com/2019/02/screen-shot-2019-02-03-at-9.35.08-pm.png[/img][/quote] Actually what surprises me about this graph is that the percentage of FARMS families has increased *everywhere* -- more slowly in some schools, less slowly in others, but an upward trend everywhere. Some reasons why this might happen: 1. Families that were middle class in 2004 have lost income and now require FARMS. 2. The requirements for obtaining FARMS have loosened, so many more families are now eligible. 3. There has been an influx of poor families into Howard County. I suspect, but am not certain -- that (3) is the main factor[/quote]
