[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Let's not pretend here.  In general, schools in DC that have a relatively low FARM rate are the best schools in the city.  This isn't a coincidence.[/quote]
I don't disagree that SES is a component of a successful school, but what about everything else?  Posters here must think very little of the education system if you think that's all it takes.  [/quote]
Is there a DCPS school that does the opposite?  Is there a mostly high SES DCPS school that is struggling?  Is there a mostly econ disadvantaged DCPS school (non-selective) that is doing well?[/quote]
Then why do the schools bother hiring staff? We can put our kids in an empty classroom and have them stare at the walls all day and they will still do well as long as there are few poor kids.[/quote]
Parents don't raise theoretical kids, they raise actual ones.  Can anyone name DCPS schools that are flourishing while having most kids economically disadvantaged.[/quote]
