[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]So the answer to OP is to have neighborhoods with more million dollar homes?[/quote] Or to convince more people in those million dollar home neighborhoods to actually send their kids to their neighborhood school. Not all of them--some will always choose private or charter (if they snag a spot at LAMB, YY, etc.)--but enough to fill up 1-2 PK classes (having PK3 available is key to get more in-boundary folks). And then, each grade needs to be kept relatively small so that the school can maintain as high an in-boundary percentage as possible. The good test scores will follow when these higher in-boundary cohorts reach testing grades. [/quote] Thing is the Ross example worked the other way around. Increases in test scores have been for grades that are majority OOB. Only once the scores increased did IB families fill up the lower grades. [/quote]
