[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I think what PP was saying is that there are studies which show that so long as the high-SES kids make up a certain proportion of the kids (I heard it was 60-70%) they are not "dragged down"; and yet the 30-40% of low SES kids are pulled up. Thus if your school is 50-60-70% high SES, studies suggest they will do as well academically than if at a 100% high SES school, PLUS they will have the benefit of a diverse student body.[/quote] Correct. [/quote] This is not an accurate description of the research findings. There is more nuance. Namely, low-performing kids appear to be pulled up. High-performing kids appear to be unaffected (not pulled down). Kids in the middle are pulled down. [/quote] AFAIK There's one study from MoCo which although widely-cited by EdReform Inc. is far from definitive or conclusive. [/quote]
