[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Dear DC families who may not know -- Kids from higher SES homes experience no loss of educational outcome when in school and classes with low-SES kids. HOWEVER, low SES kids perform better when they're in classes that are mixed. SO - send your kids to public school. If you don't like the school, find your neighbors with the same goals and FIX IT! Despite what you think, the District will help you. VanNess, Amidon, Tyler, Maury ... parents made it possible for the district to get good leaders and teachers in those schools. My opinion - you don't get to brag (?) that you send your kids to public school if you shelter them with elite charter schools.[/quote] That’s not what FCPS found out when they did their study. Higher SES kids did experience loss of educational outcomes and low SES kids did not gain much past a breaking point. The magic number they found was 20% or less FARMS. After that, above was the result.[/quote]
