[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]This is terrible but the truth is to buy into a school with a low FARMS rate. School performance and SES are highly correlated. [/quote]

Test performance and SES are highly correlated. School performance (how well a school does at educating students, how much your student learns and grows year over year) isn't really correlated in the same way, nor well-measured by things like Great Schools or Niche ratings or the Governor's new ratings, etc... they're basically just telling you how wealthy the student body is, but not much about how well the school does its job of educating those students.[/quote]

The curriculum is mostly the same from school to school. The variation comes from what is done or not done at home in my opinion. [/quote]

The school board believes that poor performers learn by being adjacent to a few more higher SES classmates. That’s the only way to bring those students up in their mind, no matter the cost to the high SES students.[/quote]
