[quote=Anonymous]Here is an important finding: "• The academic returns from economic integration diminished as school poverty levels rose. Children who lived in public housing and attended schools where no more than 20 percent of students qualified for a free or reduced price meal did best, whereas those children in public hous- ing who attended schools where as many as 35 percent of students who qualified for a free or reduced price meal performed no better aca- demically over time than public housing children who attended schools where 35 to 85 percent of students qualified for a free or reduced price meal" This study was done by the 21st Century Fund. Richard Kahlenberg who also works for them was one of the authors of the recent Washington Post OPEd calling for DC to create policies that make sure schools that are now trending affluent use weighted controlled choice lotteries to hold that schools at a 50% FARMS rate. Why would be do that given this study's conclusion?[/quote]
