[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]To clarify: Please show me where high SES DCPS students (or even big city students) have worse outcomes compared to high SES students in school districts where they are catered to? I would love to see actual data to back up these “feelings.”[/quote] Easy enough. Look at our neighbors in VA and MD that start G & T in elementary, full tracking in middle and high school. Then rigorous requirements for magnets like Blair and TJ - rigorous requirements to take the advanced courses that require high tracking that starts in middle. Look at the course offerings and how many kids taking advanced level courses. Look at SAT scores and college acceptance. All easy data to see. [/quote] Are you kidding me?! Please offer actual research, not anecdotal evidence.[/quote] Please show research showing that they perform equally well. I understand there is research that the facotr most corrolated with high educational outcomes is the education of the mother. I also understand that there is research showing that a mix of about 30% low SES with 70% high SES provides benefits to the lower SES cohort and the higher SES cohort does about the saem. I am not, however, aware of any research showing that there are no educational benefits for high performing students to attend school with high performing peers studying a challenging curriculum with solid teachers over attending a school with a large percentage of students performing below grade level, a medicre curriculum (one that is lowered so as not to be too challenging for the low performing students) and average teachers. I would love to see that research.[/quote]
