[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous] I agree that SES trumps race in this county. There are very few schools in MOCO that do not have a lot of diversity. People state that W schools do not, but that’s not actually true. They do have diversity, just not to the level of other schools.

I would target schools with around 35% FARMS rates or lower. Once the school gets closer to 50%, things get a little dicier. [/quote]

[b]It's interesting how, on this forum, when people are talking about poverty, they don't actually use the words poverty or poor, they say "SES."[/b]

County-wide, in 2022-23, 43.8% of students received FARMS. For elementary school students, it's 47.2%. So just mathematically, for every school where 35% or fewer students receive FARMS, there must be a school where more than half of students receive FARMS.

What’s so interesting about that? [/quote]

Why do people do that?[/quote]

I personally like using SES vs poverty/poor. It sounds less offensive to me but maybe it's just me. [/quote]

They're not synonymous.[/quote]
