[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Our elementary school is now a 4. We are in a “good” pyramid but the elementary school has been a pretty terrible experience. I feel like a 4 is generous [/quote]

Marshall Pyramid?[/quote]

NP, but I'm at a 4 in the Marshall pyramid (yes, Shrevewood, of course) and the school has been great for my kid.  Shrevewood is the perfect example of a school that has the top-line rating killed by the equity score.  Test scores for Whites and Asians are 9/10, but are 1/10 for Hispanics because most of the Hispanics are English learners.  So, an equity score of 1.[/quote]

My kids are also at this school, and it’s actually a 7/10 for whites and 4/10
Asian. [/quote]

The wealthy white families at Shrevewood are so insular that they have no idea what the demographics are of the non-white families. There's literally two non-white moms on the PTA and both of them are wealthy Americans (e.g. not immigrants and there are a ton of immigrant families at Shrevewood).[/quote]

Curious how you know they’re wealthy? There are plenty of white folks in the area that are not wealthy. [/quote]
Because I'm one of them. They are my children's friends' parents.[/quote]
