I bet not too many will get it. Einstein's average SAT score for Math and Reading combined is 1035 which is more than 200 points lower than bottom 25%tile of accepted student (1260-1420, mid 50%tile). Only about 50% of kids took the test which shows not enough kids are college bound. [/quote]

This is a misleading statistic, most of the poor kids you quote don't actually take the SAT. It isn't only the higher FARMs rate that explain Einstein's poor SAT performance but so has to go to the school it's self. The 50% percent who took it are mostly the middle class kids and that is part of the problem. Einstein can't possible foster the level of college preparedness that say a Whitman can (90%) because of college simply isn't in the picture for so many of it's students. Then you create gaps for those kids to fall through and then other kids start taking the path of least resistance too. A mediocre peer group is the worst thing an involved parent can expose their kids too IMO and it is selfish of parents to justify sending the kids to places like that so they can get 500 extra SqFt and a driveway.

But maybe if the parents did a little better they could get the schools and the driveway so maybe the kids are simply reflections. [/quote]

Maybe if intelligence and hard work directly correlated to income you would have a point, but guess what? They don't. [/quote]
