[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]At my kid's school nearly all of the AA kids are high SES, as are nearly all of the white kids. But these posts make me wonder if the other parents are making these assumptions too.[/quote] Even when controlled for SES, AA kids do much worse than white and asian kids on standardized tests. White kids in DC score higher on the SAT than white kids in every other state. The scoring gap between AA and white students in DC on the SAT is the largest in the country at over 400 points on a 1600 point scale. If tests like these were used for admittance as they are at other STEM magnet schools, the demographics would skew very heavily white. [/quote]
