[quote=Anonymous]I haven't yet watched the session, but I have looked at the numbers. It appears that the Staff goosed the fr/l denominator by including option students even though obviously all those kids don't attend. E.g., there aren't over 1,000 students at Abingdon. But, they still used that figure for the denominator for fr/l calculations. 419/1034 = actual+option/actual+option = 41% They are projecting total # of kids who will actually attend, but not projecting fr/l kids who will actually attend. Unsurprisingly, the % of non-fr/l kids who opt out is high for certain schools. Compare Drew's # of estimated students in tonight's data (380) vs. in last night's data (296) with # of fr/l students (251 under *both* estimates). Approx. 84 high income kids are opting out of Drew. Yet, somehow the Staff concludes this lowers the fr/l rate for Drew. Encouraging SB comments won't mean much if the Staff doesn't give them fair numbers to consider. [/quote]
