[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous], [b]100 kids out of a school with 1000, or 10%.[/b] True. Others live in very nice Hines, own 2nd hones, etc, it’s truly a mixed school. Diversity on all levels - across the board. [/quote]

Correct, and being rezoned out of a school that has other feeders with FARMS rates that, in at least one case, exceeds 80%.  It's ridiculous to think removing MWES, along with MRES and OES, from Jackson will not further concentrate poverty at LJ.

But FCHS is a high poverty rate HS. Changing LJ to more appropriately reflect FCHS is not a bad thing.[/quote]

I'm sorry your reading comprehension is so poor.  Perhaps you can work on that.  I said 100 kids get a bag of groceries each week.... and there are several hundred more who also get free or reduced meals.  That 1000 kids you mentioned -- yes, that is the population at Mosby, but a majority of the AAP center are kids from other zones.  The AAP kids have lower rates of using free meals.  That means the base school has higher rates than what is shown in the demographics (of the school profile).  Mosby is not a "rich" school.  It is a fine place for a kid to go both for academics and for diversity.  But, it is not some lily white bastion of wealth.  Not in any way.  Mosby IS the largest part of the rezoned group.  Why don't you stop by the school at dismissal some time?  This school has lots of ESOL and needy kids.  Not the majority.  But still, a very substantial part.  I am certain they were not begging to go to TMS.  I was at both meetings (at MWES and at OES).  The Mosby parents were not badgering anyone to go to TMS.  Not that they had anything against it.  But, it is just part of their "normal".  They don't think of it as a negative, as you and other allege over and over.  [/quote]
