[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]You know these two slights can't be true simultaneously, right? (For the curious, the second one is much closer to the mark.)
[quote=Anonymous]No, the YY ELA PARCC scores aren't good, not for the demographic.[/quote]
[quote=Anonymous]The elephant in the room is that they can't afford homes in Upper NW, or the Brent or Maury Districts.[/quote] [/quote]

Not the PP who wrote this, but they actually can be true.

Plenty of white, highly educated parents whose kids should be doing well on PARCC regardless, who are living outside the zones for those schools because they work in the public or nonprofit sector. [/quote]

NP.  You're not taking into account anything else, though.  It's not so clear cut.  For instance, a high SES family with disposable income may supplement their child's education with a tutor.  A white, MC family where both parents are highly-educated but work FT may not be able to do that.

And don't presume that ALL people who don't live in Upper NW can't afford it.  They may just have different priorities and desires for the kind of neighborhood they want to live in.   [/quote]
