[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]
Yu Ying is just under 30% white. This being DC, one can assume that at least the majority of that 30% is at least well-off (because poor white parents in this region mostly live in the suburbs, not in DC). Not so for the other 70% of the school (because parents of other races are more evenly represented across the SES spectrum in DC). To suggest that Yu Ying's student body is demographically comparable to a DCPS serving Upper Caucasia is just laughable. [/quote]
