[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]It’s actually SES integration that is more important.  DC should aim for consistent FARMS rates across all schools.  This is the root of the largest achievement gap.[/quote]

If you read the very interesting report PP linked above, you will find:

"Students at public schools in D.C. have more exposure to peers from different economic groups than to peers in other racial and ethnic groups. Over half of schools have between 40 percent and 60 percent of students who are at-risk, meaning that many students are attending schools with a balanced share of students from another economic group (see Figure 2). However, 18 schools have very low proportions – less than ten percent – of at-risk students, while just three schools have more than 90 percent of at-risk students. By comparison, the distribution of African American students is extremely imbalanced. Half of D.C.’s public schools have a student body that is at least 90 percent African American, meaning that many students do not attend school with students from other racial or ethnic groups."[/quote]
