[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Incidentally, the fact that Deal is only 21% FARMs is probably no accident:

[quote]The U.S. Department of Education has assessed the effect of poverty concentration on
both poor and non-poor students alike. See, e.g., Poverty, Achievement and Distribution.
In schools with less than 7% poverty, 27.6% of poor students and 11% of non-poor
students achieved below the national average. But [b]when school poverty levels increase to
greater than 24%, then 56% of poor students and 36.9% of non-poor students fell below
the national average[/b]. Although the primary conclusion is that both groups suffered
dramatically, [b]it is noteworthy that concentrated poverty had a greater relative impact on
non-poor students[/b]. Id. at 21.7[/quote]

No, not an accident but not by design, either.  More IB families send their kids to Deal.  It's that simple.[/quote]

I think it might be by design, PP.  The principal gets to decide how many OOB spots are available in the lottery.  If, say, 80% of OOB kids who lottery in are FARMs, then a wise principal would make no more than 30% of the seats available in the OOB lottery.

If 200 IB kids left Deal at the end of the year, I highly doubt that those spots would become available in the OOB lottery.  The school would simply contract.[/quote]

Deal hasn't accepted kids from the lottery in at least five years.[/quote]

OK, PP.  What do you think would happen if 200 IB kids left Deal at the end of the year?  Would the principal make those spots available in the OOB lottery?[/quote]
