[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]School ranking and the percentage of FARM students matter to me.  I want to make sure that my children are around like minded peers (students who value education) from similar families (high SES) regardless of race.   [/quote]
I hate to tell you this but everyone with a high income does  not have your 'like mind' and everyone getting a free lunch is not uneducated. The COL here dictates that what is considered the average income most other places, qualifies you for FARMS here!
We have what may be considered a high FARMS rate at Flora Singer, but I would not trade our super involved and committed and multicultural, multi level incomes for all the high six figure, I went Havahd communities anywhere. At our school, the MD's mix with the medical billing assistants and the lawyersix with the day laborers. That kind of character education combined with the excellent academics cannot be beat.

And yes we are black upper middle class people.[/quote]

BRAVO!  Good for you!  Not everyone wants their children to become sacrificial lambs.   [/quote]
