[quote=Anonymous]We don't use FARMS, mostly because we've had free meals in public schools for 10 years+. We do have a mechanism for counting income, although it's imperfect. Stuy's economic make up is roughly the same as the overall DOE population - or just a bit wealthier. It's not a title 1 school (cut off is 40% "low income"), which lines up with the data of stuy being just above the overall population. I think it might be hard to understand what real families make in nyc. 10% of the kids at my kids' schools (all title 1) are unhoused, which is about average. Stuy is mostly poor/lower middle class (with a lot of families working on a cash basis which is a whole other thing), but so is our school system. LMC second gen asian girls are not living the "hooked" dream. They're just working their asses off. [/quote]
