[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]It's statistics.

In DC, white= higher probability of being high SES= higher probability of no/low issues in academics in progeny= higher probability that the school attended will be 'good'.

Not because the school is actually good but because the load of issues that school might have to deal with is now significantly lower.

So if you are busy and have no time for deep analysis, a quick look at the demographics of the school will tell you how 'good' the school is.

I used to use FARM for this quick and dirty analysis, but am beginning to wonder about that. My thoughts being that [b]FARM in DC = housing projects & homeless (therefore from families that do no value education highly[/b]). However, my current impression is that LT is Title 1, but still a better school than Watkins which is not. I suppose a less than eloquent way to say that of course there is no clear way to judge what school is filled with kids that are primed to learn.[/quote]

Wow. Just wow.

Ok so, Wow yourself. FARM is based on the documented inability to pay $2.10 for a lunch. Those who can not, are what? Not to mention as a matter of course, most FARMs get free breakfast and summer school meals as well. Not to say that is a bad thing, but it is what it is.
