[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]A major problem with this study and the Post report is that both assume that African American students comprise a low-income monolith. The District has been losing lower income African American residents for nearly two decades now. This has increased the percentage of Black D.C. residents who are upper income. In other words, in D.C., the educational and economic demographics within the race have changed. This undoubtedly contributes to the higher average scores of African American students. [/quote] Did you read it? It also appears the Hispanic population in DCPS has increased by 6 percentage points over the last ten years. Do we know if that population was lower income additions to the school system, or perhaps they were middle and upper income? [/quote] I find it hard to believe they didn't control for income.
