[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]This report from MSDE which shows a gap between Economically-Disadvantaged Student Group, which is a student group designation that was created recently with ESSA, suggests that Economically Advantaged vs. Disadvantaged are not the only two student groups represented in this data: https://marylandpublicschools.org/stateboard/Documents/2021/0928/SpotlightOnEconomicallyDisadvantaged.pdf

If anyone knows the full list of student group categories that the MSDE uses, that would clarify things. But clearly, a MD student can be economically-advantaged but also still qualify for FARMS. So these student groups are not necessarily mutually exclusive, because the criteria for the groups come from different legislations or initiatives.[/quote]

It is inconceivable that the economically disadvantaged group would fare substantially better than the population overall. If that was actually the fact it would be big news and for any decent journalist would be the top headline here. It’s clear that this data is sloppily presented and misunderstood by the reporters who could do with a stats course and some lessons in analyzing data critically.[/quote]
