[quote=Anonymous]My point was that ESL kids are likely to have lower test scores. FARMS kids are likely to have lower test scores. Certain minority populations are likely to have lower test scores. When these groups make up a higher percentage of the total student body, average SOL scores will be lower. Also, think about the differences in kids whose parents have a $300K HHI vs kids whose parents have a $75K HHI. Like it or not, sometimes high earners are high earners because they also had high test scores and went to good schools and ended up buying pricier houses. Also, making a major decision based on a couple of percentage points of difference (between peers) is stupid. If one school had a 93% Caucasian graduation rate and the other had 91%, that would be a negligible difference. Plus a lot depends on parent involvement. Believe it or not, YOU as a parent have some control over how your kid performs. :-)[/quote]
