[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Better schools have wealthier families. That is it. I am a former private school teacher and taught a lot of white kids. They weren’t regurlaly the brightest. Wealthy students of any race/background raise test scores. It is that simple. [/quote]

This. The list is just a list of which schools have higher socio-economic status.

[b]But here's the thing: kids can still get into top-ranked colleges even while attending a school in a lower socio-economic area. So parents could pay less for a mortgage and still get the same college success.[/quote][/b]

Yup.[/quote]

Maybe.  Or they could pay less and end up with a kid who isn’t prepared as well and has less college success. [/quote]

It can be really hard to accept that someone may have spent less money on housing, only to have their kid obtain a really good public education. To realize that that poor FARMs kid can do just as well as your kid, maybe even better. It can be a hard thing to wrap your mind around.[/quote]
