[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Black households in Prince George’s County, MD have significantly higher median incomes ($100,334) 
than their counterparts in Montgomery County, MD ($89,362)

PG also has less-wealthy white households and Asian households than MoCo.

With MCAP pass rates astoundingly low for almost every group almost everywhere, it's not a good metric for drawing fine distinctions.

Median incomes are not that meaningful because they reflect families whose children may not attend PGCPS. It would be more useful to compare FARMS rates. PGCPS has a much higher overall FARMS rate than MCPS, with 60% of students receiving FARMS versus 40% in MCPS. However, I don't know the rate for Black PGCPS students specifically. Per the MCPS County Summary profile, 13.5% of all students are Black students receiving FARMS and 21.5% of all students are Black. Meaning about 63% of Black students receive FARMS. https://app.powerbi.com/view?r=eyJrIjoiZWRjM2M3YWItYjdlOC00MDlmLWE2NDctYjRiMDdhZjgzMzE1IiwidCI6ImRkZjc1NWU5LWJjZDYtNGE1ZS1hNDcyLTdjMzc4YTc4YzZjNyIsImMiOjF9[/quote]
