[quote=Anonymous][quote]Yes but they are not any less upper income than the AA population at Ross which is the point. What are you trying to contest? That’s Ross has richer black kids and that’s why they perform as well as their white peers? Or that Janney has lower middle class (not low enough to qualify for FARM) AA than Ross and that’s why they suck with the 36 black kids they do have? I know one thing, as a black mom of a black boy, if I had my choice, I would not enroll my kid at Janney. Also, I know about 20 families at Janney. 4 black, 1 interracial, and 5 white. 3 of the 4 Black are head and shoulders more wealthy with more prestigious careers. But you keep assuming all the black kids at Janney come from households making a modest $70k.

PP here and I am simply wondering why Ross in particular has AA scores higher than comparable schools.  Do you really think Ross is doing something so specific and impactful and different from Janney etc. that it increases scores that much in AA students compared to other schools?  Rather than perhaps a more likely explanation, like SES differences or random fluctuations in scores?  If so, all I can say is that you have more faith in the system than I do, from one black parent to another.
