[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]For someone who is watching to see if a particular DCPS school is gentrifying, I think the change in FARMS from one year to the next is very relevant.[/quote]

If the neighborhood is gentrifying then the school is gentrifying too (although lagged by some amount).  It's happening all over the city.  But it also happens very slowly.  If you're not comfortable with the current FARMS percentages now, then is a few percent different really going to matter?[/quote]

Actually, yes, when you schools that are right on the Title 1 border, and you are trying to convince families of the trend.  [/quote]

Assuming the cutoff for Title 1 is 40% economically disadvantaged, it's FAR BETTER to have 40% and get additional staff and social services supports for students in need than to have 38-29% and not qualify for the Title I designation.

Schools just shy of the cutoff will still have a large number of students in need but less ability and resources to support them.

True, but strangely, people don't think that way when it comes to sending their kids to a school.[/quote]
