[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I'm wondering if parents who are in boundary would still mind a lot out of boundary students attending if they were at grade level or above? [/quote]

Well, when they all say in boundary, that's not really what they are talking about. It's just a coded way of saying white.[/quote]

You do know that there are above grade level kids who are not white, right?[/quote]

DP. Of course, but that's not what PP is saying, and you probably know that. PP speaks the truth - not one of these parents would be talking about PARCC scores at all if the building was white. [/quote]

DP. It's slightly more complicated than that, although racism does play in. I think PARCC scores do matter in that the school can't be 50%+ failing, like Eliot-Hine.  But beyond that, yes, I do think that race plays in when people refuse to acknowledge that SH's PARCC scores are fine and there is a strong cohort of grade level students.  (I should note that I think Eliot-Hine could also be fine for some kids; just that it meets my personal "nope" cutoff for PARCC scores.)[/quote]
