[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]For all of you who choose schools based on the socio-economic status of the children within the school I have two sincere questions for you.

A) If a school had 70 percent lower ses students but test scores around  89-94 percent proficient, would that school be acceptable to you?  Why or why not?

B) Does it ever concern you that your throughly high SES school ( Lafayette, janney, Murch, Mann ) could be providing a pretty blah education but posting high test scores based on students privileged backgrounds?

In other words, so you employ any critical thinking to determining if the school is full of talented and committed educators? Or do you just want it full of rich kids?[/quote]

A) Yes.  I could care less about the SES of students as long as the kids are grade level or above.

B)  Same answer as A.  I don't care about race or economic status or how many talented educators, yadi yada as long as the test scores are at an acceptable range especially for high school.  I care about SAT scores and where kids go to college.  [/quote]
