[b]The kids who are not fluent in English learn the language fast and become bilingual. One study in Britain found bilingual kids to be smarter than their monolingual peers.[/b]
And poor households are not single parent households, that seems to be an urban legend.
I would say densely populated area = more kids in school, lower property value = less money for schools

Student body is not the determining factor, it matters, but not enough to explain the difference. Just say the inequality of American school system. To label kids as dumb and parents as wayward single moms is offensive[/quote]

I have never heard that to be true and in fact if you visit a local elementary school South Arlington you will find the opposite.  I would bet the study you are referring to looked at kids who parents were also bilingual and had a high level of education.  If the parents do not speak English in the home, the child is going to become fluent in English at a slower rate.

Student body is one of the biggest determining factors. Plenty of studies on this. Once you get a large low income population in a school, there chances that scores will be high or even good, go down significantly. [/quote]
