[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Wilson transitioning to mostly white will help these students for a bit considering its urban reputation. It will be a decade before the colleges realize that the DC of old is changing. [/quote]

It will be sooner. Have you read about the SAT's new adversity scores for each student based on school data and census tract information? It was in the NYTimes last week. Swing by the DCUM College board for the ranting rather than doing it here. [/quote]

Yes.  Everyone is mocking what the SAT is proposing to do.  It seems like  an Onion arody of what the Bennington faculty club might have dreamed up in 1970.[/quote]

Colleges are doing it already, creating their own programs to calculate this or hiring other vendors. College Board wants to retain its usefulness and colleges will get the data in a standardized form at lower cost.

The point of it for purposes of this thread is to note that if you live in a wealthy, violence-free area where most adults have BAs or higher, then any bump you may get from attending an ‘urban’ high school will be negated.

But since Wilson hasn’t been Title 1 for several years, the word is already out. [/quote]
