[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I would like to point out that those national norms include low SES kids, who are pretty disadvantaged. Yes there are disadvantaged kids in MCPS, but compared to other areas the difference is pretty stark and the kids in MCPS are more privileged on average. I have seen stats from a study showing that if you remove the low ses scores, the average scores jump. I don’t remember the exact amount but I remember being surprised. [/quote]

Or perhaps I should say in particular, parents posting on dcum are probably in clusters of privileged, educated families where the kids are averaging higher.[/quote]

There is a cohort of such posters here, but there are also plenty of people who don't understand basic math, and don't know about those clusters, and post embarrassing comments in their ignorance.

It only takes a small fraction of the population to be both [b]far overrelesented in "1% of wider population" [/b]attributes, but still a statistical minority (<50%)  in our dcum enclave. [/quote]

ok, again: what do you mean by "far represented". how many percent of MCPS students is at the 99th MAP percentile? how many of those in the W cluster?[/quote]
