[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Having a high proportion of students experiencing financial constraint (as might be represented by ever-FARMS) is more impactful to the learning environment in one respect than having a high proportion of students in rather well off situations in the other.  Lower percentages of high need are more important than higher percentages of great wealth.  It doesn't matter as much that WJ isn't as uniformly wealthy as Whitman or Churchill.  It matters more that Woodward will have a substantially greater challenge to manage.

That is, unless the system differentially resources schools enough to effectively meet the needs on an equivalent basis (i.e., such that any individual student, with whichever levels of individual/family resource and academic ability, might expect a similar experience for [i]themselves[/i] -- not the school population as a whole -- whether they might attend one school or another).[/quote]

35% FARMS is very low. Woodward makes it seem like this is the worst in the county. 35% will be one of the wealthiest.[/quote]

No doubt that 35% FARMS is low in the county nowadays.  The statements still hold.[/quote]
