[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]The adversity score is on a scale of 1-100, and takes into account the following:

Neighborhood environment:
Crime rate
Poverty rate
Housing value
Vacancy rate

Family environment:
Median income
Single parent
Education level
ESL

High school environment:
Undermatching
Curricular rigor
Free lunch rate
AP opportunity[/quote]

Is this for the school address or the student's address? I'm thinking about Wilson for example; it's in a wealthy part of town but serves a lot of economically disadvantaged students.[/quote]

The index will measure both the home and school addresses.[/quote]

So much for parents sacrificing to move into a nice, safe neighborhood with [b]a good neighborhood school.[/b]  When you can spend half the price and buy in a crappy school system and get your kid into any school they want.

This idea is half baked.

This was not well though through. [/quote]

This is one GOOD thing about this index.  Neighborhood school disparity is one of the worst things about the American educational system.  You cannot take credit (and your kid can't take credit) for your kid's life success when it's bought and paid for.[/quote]
