[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Maybe there are 3 economic groups: the disadvantaged, the advantaged, and the middle. Otherwise the numbers don’t add up. [/quote]

There have to be more than three groups though, because even FARMS and Economically Disadvantaged do not completely overlapped.

The report I linked to says that in 2020-2021, there were 246,780 MD students that met the Economically-Disadvantaged criteria, but there were 382,118 MD students that met the FARMS criteria.

So there's probably a variety of ways to slice the student groups up, depending on these statuses and it's clear that these student group statuses aren't mutually exclusive.[/quote]

There's no way for there to be more than two groups, though, unless they are using population-level data by zip code. Maryland knows which kids qualify for FARMS, but they don't know anything beyond that. So, on paper, there is no difference between a poor kid who just never filed for FARMS and a wealthy kid in Potomac.
