[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]@TPES the number of students per grade has allowed them to provide differentiated math and reading in a positive way. This would not be possible at a smaller school. I imagine this would be true for PBES as well.[/quote]

That doesn't quite answer the question, though. Unless you assume that the only kids that need advanced differentiation are middle class and white.

If you believe that poor kids might also be gifted, and that Black kids might also need acceleration, then the presence of differentiation at PBES should mean that kids of color and poor kids at PBES would do *better,* not worse than at smaller schools.   [/quote]

No, it doesn't assume that at all. I'd imagine that differentiation is based on the results of basic assessments, but the school doesn't tell us this so I can only speak to my personal experience.

I am a minority. My child is in an enriched math class at TPES. The class composition is diverse and seems similar to the school's overall demographic.[/quote]

I agree! These statistics don't tell the whole story. Sure, some kids may not be living up to their potentials, but it seems likely the reasons for this are larger societal problems that can't simply be laid at the school's door.
