For the most part, low income students scored fairly well in HSs where the FARMs rate is below about 25%, which is what the study found.. that low income students do better in schools where FARMs % is about 23%.[/quote]

[quote]A mandate for the diversity bus![/quote]

Wait what? First this document shows the opposite!

FARMs kids at Damascus, and Watkins Mill scored substantially higher than FARMS kids at Churchill. 
Scores for FARMs kids from Blair, Paint Branch, Springbrook are about the same as each other.
 FARMs kids at BCC scored lower than Wheaton, Einstein and Gaithersburg.

Only Poolesville shows substantial scores above all the schools across all races and FARMS kids. What are they doing in Poolesville?

SAT scores are also not a good measurement of how diversity changes would benefit low income kids because many low income kids don't take the test. Its a select population. Its also been found to the least relevant to teaching and in school performance learning as of all the tests it can be heavily influenced by prep, exposure to education at home and long term reading habits.
