[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]The Hill schools gentrified because the in-boundary families were (to overstate it) white and rich and the school had previously had a lot of out-of-boundary students.

Unless your in-boundary homes and families are like that, you won't get a flip like that.[/quote]

And you don't need to see the FARMS data to know its' happening. [/quote]

You do need the FARMS data to know if the in bounds families are sending their kids to the schools. There are ungentrified or partially gentrified "Hill" schools (JO Wilson, Watkins, Tyler, Payne, Miner) where this same phenomenon applies, but the Brent/Maury effect hasn't totally taken off yet. For instance, my understanding is that 15-18 upper middle class SES families all sent their PK3ers to Miner this year; that could have an enormous affect on the school.[/quote]

The key is whether those families stay past PK.  Free PK is great, but it will they stick around for K and beyond?[/quote]

Completely agree. But whether they actually started in another important piece of info. I would like to see the date to confirm neighborhood rumor. There is a big difference between 75% FARMS and 99% FARMS in terms of my willingness to give it a chance.[/quote]
