MCPS representatives said this at various meetings. It was a pilot and they stated their goals for the pilot clearly.[/quote]

MCPS representatives said, "[b]We're putting a pilot at Matsunaga because Matsunaga has a high percentage of poor, black, and Latino students who are high-performing"[/b]?[/quote]

Which is not the same as "...high percentage of poor Black and Latino students who are also high-performing".   And it is not the same as "...high percentage of currently poor Black and Latino students of recently immigrated Black and Latino parents who are highly educated....who are high-performing".

Many recent and legal immigrants from East Europe, India and China - are making very little because they are on H1B visas.  They are as poor as they come because they are in virtual slavery of the companies that have sponsored them.   Their children are doing well because the parents are teaching them at home.  What about them?[/quote]

I'm not sure what you are asking.  There are children of H1B immigrants in HGC.[/quote]

Yes, there are children of East European, Chinese, Indian H1B legal immigrants in HGC.  They may[b] NOT[/b] be financially well off, but they are educated.  Just like there are children of Blacks and Latino immigrants -  who are educated in the HGC.   That is not the same as the children of poor and poorly educated AA and HI students.

The children of poor and uneducated African-American (not immigrant Blacks from Africa and Caribbean countries) are unicorns in the HGC.  The affirmative action is not being used by their children or the children of non-English speaking illegal Hispanic immigrants. [/quote]

Fixed it above.

Sparks Matsunaga ES is not a poor school.  Here is the data on that school.  Mainly Asian and just 21% FARMS.
