[quote=Anonymous]Does your data comes from this document?

Ever FARMs data is difficult to find, and is less accurate at the secondary level b/c the stigma kicks in.

I'm impressed you found this.

[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Yes, but are the kids in Gaithersburg and Silver Springs all fat? Are 50% of them obese?

And you do know that those areas are not poor? They are well into middle class by anyone's standards.

Gaithersburg ES has an ever-FARMS rate of 84%. Brown Station ES, 69%. Flower Hill ES, 71%. Judith A. Resnik ES, 60%. Rosemont ES, 63%. South Lake ES, 85%. Stedwick ES, 64%. Strawberry Knoll ES, 57%. Summit Hall ES, 84%. Washington Grove ES, 76%. Whetstone ES, 67%.

(Ever-FARMS means that the student is now receiving FARMS or has received FARMS in the past.)

That's just Gaithersburg. You can look Silver Spring up yourself.

The ever-FARMS rate for MCPS as a whole is 42%. Do you think that those poor children are evenly distributed among the county schools?[/quote][/quote]
