Data speaks itself

Is your argument that they start smarter, have better teachers, or have more opportunities?  How does this data show that half of the grade level is ready for advanced math in 4th grade where there are almost zero students from other schools- many of whom probably have similar statistics?  Or is your point that more schools should be like BFES and advance students because their results will end up looking like this?  Or, even more concerning, is your point that rich kids should have more opportunities because they have fewer obstacles to success?[/quote]
