[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]What's the min % of white kids you need before you consider the school?[/quote]

I mean, ideally over 50%, but minimum of 40%.  Do any fit the bill?[/quote]

I'm the OP and I didn't write this post.
I also fully expected this thread to take this exact turn, but I do want the info I asked for. Obviously it isn't about skin color, because I'd be living elsewhere, like a tiny condo west of the park (you don't need to move to Wisconsin). I am, however, interested (OMG Every parent is interested, give me a break), in FARMS rates as an indicator of extreme poverty, and of the proportion of resources that the school will generally be able to dedicate to teaching my child versus dealing with all issues related to extreme poverty.

I am empathetic to you OP. Sadly, if you ask such questions people think it makes you racist. I don't care what color the kids are or if they are poor, I care about proficiency of the MAJORITY of students. [/quote]

You can get the proficiency from the test scores (Learn DC).

As for OP's explanation - the schools with higher rates of students who qualify for free or subsidized meals get more resources (teachers aides, social workers, counselors, learning specialists). So it doesn't necessarily change the resources your child will have access to.[/quote]
