[quote=Anonymous]These threads are so depressing. Sometimes I don't know why I still read them. Anyway... Even at schools with high FARMS rates and lots of ethnic diversity, certain kids still do well. I would imagine that those who consistently do well are probably in the same demographic as many on this board. So, certain kids will do well wherever they are. A school's FARMS rate and test scores do not tell the whole story. Some of the schools with lower overall scores have great, dedicated teachers, administrators and parents. This is public school. Our communities are diverse. The educational system needs a lot of work, but the tendency to point fingers at students (and their families) who come to school with fewer advantages is so misdirected. DCUMers, by and large, your kids will be fine.[/quote]
