[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I went to Oakland Mills back at the beginning of this graph. Pretty amazing how things have changed.. [img]https://howardcounty640805081.files.wordpress.com/2019/02/screen-shot-2019-02-03-at-9.35.08-pm.png[/img][/quote] Actually what surprises me about this graph is that the percentage of FARMS families has increased *everywhere* -- more slowly in some schools, less slowly in others, but an upward trend everywhere. Some reasons why this might happen: 1. Families that were middle class in 2004 have lost income and now require FARMS. 2. The requirements for obtaining FARMS have loosened, so many more families are now eligible. 3. [b]There has been an influx of poor families into Howard County. [/b] I suspect, but am not certain -- that (3) is the main factor[/quote] I've heard the same. Coming in from Baltimore city.[/quote]
