[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][b]So I wonder if it makes sense for education-centric families to move to poor performing school districts.[/b]  Private school if possible in upper elementary and maybe middle, then HS in some 3/10 horror that gives and option to effectively take full days at the local community college, just coming back for gym and "leadership".  9th and 10th grades are hardest because, since those schools teach on a subpar level, kids will need to effectively homeschool in addition to spending wasted hours in the 3/10.  However, maybe they can be "sick" a lot, like a lot.

And we'll never have to worry about our kids becoming SJW.  [/quote]

Nailed it.  This is the best way to get ahead.  I know many people who have benefited from this, both URM and not. I don't think regular people, the general population, understands the impact this has on college admissions, but it is time that they do.[/quote]

Right. And the rising tide will lift all boats.[/quote]

No it is impossible to say just yet, we cannot assume the scoring system will just be "linearly varying" by income, there may be extra boosts at certain levels, and if the really purpose was just to be a proxy for AA or Hispanic race, they can weight the factors any way they want, in fact, they can weight the factors differently by state and sub-region or even metro area.   And since the scores are all hocus-pocus private and can't be collated nationally since any 1 college admissions department won't every see the whole national denominator or normed reference pool, it will be very difficult to make any decisions based on this until about 10 years or 15 years from now

Here is a summary of the research report to create the new scoring model:  https://secure-media.collegeboard.org/digitalServices/pdf/professionals/data-driven-models-to-understand-environmental-context.pdf[/quote]
