[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Of course JKLM families have no idea what a 99% FARMs number means in terms of the community eligibility option. You would run away from a school that was title 1, let alone high poverty. Actually, you probably think that the 40% threshold for title 1 is high poverty.[/quote] I really do not understand all this hatred for JKLM families (we are one of them): these people decided to live in DC, pay taxes that support services not just for upper NW, but for the entire town, send their kids to DCPS and work to support their local schools. I have no problems whatsoever in admitting that I would not send my kids to a school in a high poverty area (as for Title 1, it depends on the school) especially at the middle school and high school level. The reality is that schools in areas with dramatic social problems are not able to teach kids to read and write, and the problems that these kids face at home profoundly affect their day at school.
