[quote=Anonymous]The question is "would be improved" for whom? As illustrated at various schools across the city in the last 10 years, when a school in a gentrifiing neighborhood attracts a critical mass of richer white families test scores go up. These schools then attract more IB white families while the number of seats available to OOB families is squeezed, gradually to nil. For the IB families, the school is improved. From the perspective of educational outcomes I am not so sure. Aren't you just shunting kids around. Kids who would previously have done well at private or suburban schools are now doing well in the city. OOB kids who would previously have struggled academically at Brent and Maury are now struggling elsewhere.[/quote]
