[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]^^^ It also depends where they do the cut-off for low, middle, high.  The FARMS rate for RCF to use PP's example, is only about 5 percentage points higher than for CCES.  One falls on the <20% (barely) and one falls on the >20%, but they are not hugely different.  Hard to know how they decided to split up the schools.[/quote]

This is exactly the problem. The cut offs between what is a high versus middle versus low SES school is not clear.[/quote]

And they know the actual FARMs status of each child, right?  Not seeing how this can be justified. They can see some non farms kids getting farms "cohort" benefit.  Do they ignore that (bad!) do they rejigger results to fix (bad!).  Were last year's changes so inadequate they had to layer this on before the smoke had cleared?[/quote]

Honestly, desegregation is a work in progress and there will be errors and rethinking along the way. That doesn't make it a bad goal. [/quote]

You are conflating a lot of unrelated things, but sure that's a worthy goal.[/quote]
