The FARMS kids have access to the same teachers, the same classes, and the same at school resources at Churchill.  How many of these kids make it into the competitive track at the school including AP and Honors classes? BTW - not all of these kids are African American or Hispanic.  To say so is racist.  I also never said I had an issue with anyone attending Churchill.  I think the school has an overinflated reputation.  Moving kids in or out will not solve the problems in MCPS. Just more gas and pollution.[/quote]

If you are trying to answer the question of "Do poor kids do better in low-poverty schools than high-poverty schools?", you have to compare poor kids in low-poverty schools to poor kids in high-poverty schools.

Whereas, when you compare rich kids in low-poverty schools to poor kids in low-poverty schools -- which is what you are doing -- the question you're trying to answer is "Do rich kids do better in low-poverty schools than poor kids?"

(By the way, bonus points for calling me racist.)[/quote]
