Yes, HoCo schools are “rated” higher because they have a lot fewer black and Hispanic kids, who tend not to score as highly on standardized tests. “Ratings” around here are 100% about whiteness/Asianness of a school system. When people say they want “good schools,” you can simply cut and paste “white and Asian schools.”[/quote]
MCPS:
30.1% Hispanic
29.3% White
21.3% Black
14.3% Asian

HCPS:
22.4% Asian
24.0% Black
11.3% Hispanic
35.8% White

so...not really. You know it's easy to look this stuff up, right?[/quote]
What’s crazy and really blows up all this nonsense is that Black students in HoCo schools perform better than MoCo schools. [/quote]

It doesn’t make sense to just cite the demographic data of the entire county when everyone knows that the schools in these counties are incredibly segregated and that the highest performing schools are majority white/Asian. [/quote]
So how do you have explain that [b]HoCo has a higher percentage of Black students and yet their Black students perform better?[/quote][/b]

Where’s the data that black students perform ‘better’ in Hoco than in Moco?![/quote]
The state Report Card data. [/quote]
The data is here. Black students in HoCo schools, particularly at Middle and High School, have higher achievement in Math and Language Arts.

So more Black students and the Black students they have perform better. As a result, it’s hard to justify the demographic determinism arguments people keep repeating.

The data clearly indicates that for the average student regardless of race, HoCo provide a better education. And yet, as people claim here, HoCo schools are segregated. [/quote]
How can HoCo schools be segregated?  I thought they stared busing a couple years ago.[/quote]

Did you not hear or see on the news the outrage when they did a huge boundary reassignment at Howard County  a couple of years ago? They started the "neighborhood" schools claim even before the MoCo upcounty boundary study. [/quote]
