[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]To quote the study, "The antecedent factor of family socioeconomic status and the propensity factors of student science, mathematics, and reading achievement by kindergarten consistently explained whether students displayed advanced science or mathematics achievement during first, second, third, fourth, or fifth grade." So this isn't about race, it's really about socioeconomic status of the family. [/quote] Race and SES are highly correlated[/quote] Not always. In NYC, for example, the Asian community there is among the poorest if not the poorest. Yet, they are highly represented in NYC magnet schools. [/quote] Highly correlated does not mean perfectly correlated but there is a strong connection. We can point to the outliers but those remain outliers. [/quote] Check the free/reduced lunch for NYC elite schools. Then check the demographics of said schools.[/quote]
