[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]When people provide esl, farms and racial percentages, I'm having trouble figuring out what that means regarding how that answers the op's question. Are those schools more tolerant of all different types of diversity (race, see, etc)? Is it less cliquish? What kind of school spirit is there compared to less diverse schools? Don't these schools pretty much play each other in football, basketball, band, choir, theater, etc? Which schools sell out their tickets the most? [/quote]

Majority poverty and lower scores means a student body struggling to pass the basics.

There are also gang issues associated with high minority and poverty schools, which exclude membership based on racial makeup.

The schools indicated by OP are all very good and have low FARMS and good test scores. I was refuting people stating Falls Church or Stuart are acceptable in comparison to OP's list.[/quote]

It's a meaningless statement to assert that Falls Church and Stuart are not "acceptable in comparison to OP's list." What does that even mean? Acceptable to whom?  It seems to say more about a Marshall poster's anxiety of having Marshall discussed in the same breath as Falls Church than anything else. Perhaps that tells OP something about the current "culture" at that school.
