[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]The income distribution for dcps public school students is not bimodal.  There is a large number of economically at-risk students and then there are students spread across just about every single income step above that all the way up to very wealthy.  It is a pretty wide spectrum - lots of not at-risk but mostly just getting by families, lots of true middle class families, lots of economically secure but 150k does not go so far in major urban areas type families.  Lots of variations in the educational status of the parent(s).  Lots of variations in things like housing costs.[/quote]

This. The people who think it's just some very poor families and then everyone else is very well off are just very ignorant (and likely only interact with families in their same socioeconomic position and therefore don't think about or consider that anyone else exists).[/quote]

Or they can look at the distribution of income in DC from every source, see the barbell and make the appropriate inference. [/quote]
