[quote=Anonymous]Low performers will behave even worse in high score school. It doesn't matter what diversity it is and what resources he/she has. Students perform best when they are similar levels. [quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Sounds to me like the BOE doesn't have a clue as to why certain schools are underperforming, so they think if they just shuffle the deck, the problem will disappear. Our schools are already quite diverse. The BOE needs to figure out how to raise up the underperfroming schools, not how to knock down the better schools to their level.[/quote] Actually, no! It is a well-known fact that low-income students do better at schools that lack high concentrations of poverty. BOE members have stated this. The goal is to educate all students not just those lucky enough to live in a W pyramid with gerrymandered boundaries from the Jim Crowe era. [/quote][/quote]
