[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Yorktown vs Whitman SAT data for those that don’t want to do the research and comb through data.

[b]Yorktown[/b]
Asian = 1786
Black = 1506
Hispanic = 1610
White = 1788

[b]Whitman[/b]
Asian = 1901
Black = 1561
Hispanic = 1827
White = 1917

Whitman like Yorktown is within the Beltway and close to DC. Housing prices are demographics are similar.[/quote]

I was looking at W-L data since that is more popular than YHS. It’s also 34% FARMS. How about Whitman?

[b]W-L[/b]
Asian 1582 
Black 1523
Hispanic 1442
White 1856

Did you find the breakdown by FARM vs non-FARM scores?

There are unique populations in Arlington that make even comparing by “race” less meaningful.

SES would make more sense.

Right, many of the Asian for instance masks the fact that a large part of them of lower SES Vietnamese and Mongolian vs wealthy Chinese immigrants in McLean. You can paint a broad brush like that. [/quote]

This still doesn’t account for why white kids who go to Einstein are scoring higher than white kids in Yorktown, when the average price of a home in Einstein’s district is more than half what it is in Yorktown. These are homes sold in the past 3 months in Einstein’s district:
