[quote=Anonymous]The VDOE data is of September 30th and identifies an "Economically Disadvantaged" student as one who meets any one of the following criteria: "1) is eligible for Free/Reduced Meals, or 2) receives TANF, or 3) is eligible for Medicaid, or 4) identified as either Migrant, experiencing Homelessness, Foster, or Head Start." This is somewhat different than the data reported by FCPS on its school profiles, which is based on free/reduced meals eligibility as of the end of the school year in June. So, for example, to the extent that economically disadvantaged students are more likely to drop out of high school over the course of a year, the FCPS percentages could be lower. Conversely, if for whatever reason there was an influx of low-income immigrants to a school, or feds lost their jobs, over the course of a school year, the year-end percentages reported by FCPS could be higher than the VDOE percentages.
