[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Interesting. Flora Singer is a focus school but last year they had a slightly lower FARMS rate than Takoma park elementary, per the “at a glance” information (this info for this current school year is not available yet).

[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Does anyone know how a focus school is determined? What’s the FARMS rate cutoff? Does a school have to hit a certain FARMS metric for a certain number of years before the designation is changed?[/quote]

I don't know the exact cutoff, but all of the focus schools are listed in the chart on page 3 here, so it can probably be extrapolated, if someone wants to take the time.

I'm not sure about in MCPS, but when we were in DCPS, focus schools were the schools that did not qualify as Title I and had large achievement gaps between different groups of people. So it may not be about the FARMs rate but about the achievement gap by race/ethnicity.[/quote]
