So more Black students and the Black students they have perform better. As a result, it’s hard to justify the demographic determinism arguments people keep repeating.

The data clearly indicates that for the average student regardless of race, HoCo provide a better education. And yet, as people claim here, HoCo schools are segregated. [/quote]
Your own data does not support your assertion.

That data shows that black students in MCPS do better in ELA - across the board. For math, in ES, MoCo is higher.   And, there are more Black kids who qualify for FARMs in MoCo than HoCo.

Hoco: 38.5% / 39.1% / 48.9%	
Moco: 39.8% / 40% / 50.5%

So, all in all, seems that black kids do better in MoCo than HoCo.   [/quote]
My data? It’s the states data. I have no idea who you are but the fact that you would go through the trouble to misrepresent publicly available data is bizarre.

Math
MoCo: 35.9% / 21.9% / 39.4%
HoCo: 32.5% / 26.7% / 45.9%

What you are unable to grasp and fail to analyze is that  MoCo black students is over 100% more than HoCo's.  So if you're only scoring about 5% higher means you're not doing better. The more students you have taking the test, the more likely your score will be lower. Statistically, MoCo students are doing better.
You need to be take a class in statistics and probability.[/quote]
