[quote=Anonymous]To answer OP's original question---there is absolutely nothing I can do that would improve my IB ES---the needs of the high numbers of poverty-stricken children are overwhelming. The only way that EOTP schools get "buy-in" from the portion of its otherwise IB parents who use charter or OOB placement is when the demographics of the neighborhood become such that the neighborhood ES (or MS, in the case of Deal) is less than 40% FARMs. At that point the middle class parents will step up and invest in the school en masse. See, e.g., Ross or Brent. Otherwise, if the demographic tide is against them (see Bancroft or HD Cooke), then there will be a small, revolving cohort of middle class parents who try to make things better, but who eventually give up and leave. It's the poverty, stupid.[/quote]
