[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]It's just one more way for people who game the system...to game the system. You could have a really, really rich person go to Wilson HS in DC and get "adversity points" and have someone from the ghetto go to Holton Arms and not get the points. Ridiculous.[/quote] Not really. Because the census tract their home address is in will counter the school demographics. It is no longer a Title 1 school and less than 25% are economically disadvantaged. At the economically disadvantaged percentage is tumbling. Now if a relatively wealthy kid lives in a non-gentrified neighborhood, and graduated from Banneker or Ballou high school, they will get some adversity points. As they probably should. [/quote]
