[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]"The population is a bit rough and tumble if you are coming from private - majority minority, and over 40% of our students qualify for free and reduced meals (FARMS). At Deal the number is more like 20%, and the school is majority white and majority wealthy, and the scores BASIS has achieved..."

Where can one get socio-economic data about school population and test scores? (BASIS or any other charter)? Thanks.[/quote]

Actually BASIS is 27% FARMS (and Deal is 21%). But it wouldn't be a BASIS thread without a few tall tales coming out-- from both sides. [/quote]

Perhaps that is the data this year which I have not seen yet but last year BASIS qualified for Title 1 status which means at least 40% FARMS.[/quote]

Actually the first two years we were Title I and last year the powers that be realized that entitled us to extra help from OSSE re math and science and kids who are not doing well.  If that is not true anymore - I would be surprised - but the teacher hours and peer tutoring (one of my kids is a peer tutor in math) helps a ton for kids who are struggling and want to learn.[/quote]
