[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]So, how much does the adversity score "drill down" to the neighborhood/home address level?

Let's take a school like South Lakes or Edison or Hayfield.  There are kids who live in apartments (or public housing) and their are kids who live in $$800K+ homes.  Sometimes these homes are just a block or two apart.

Is the "adversity index" looking at your actual home/street?  When they look at crime, how tight is the area they are considering?  [/quote]

I don’t know how fine grained it is, but it is likely focused on census tract data which isn’t street by street but closer to a voting precinct.

What people forget are the two other components of the index - which are about the students’ Hugh school. Some of what they will put in the scores is already in the school data sheet the counselors prepare and submit with the students transcript and rec letters.

Includes how students SAT score compares with others in their high school (top 25% etc) and the numbers of APs offered, average AP load.
