A big factor in API scores is the demographics. The API scores are available by ethnicity and what you frequently find is the middle class caucasian/asian kids scores are very similar from school to school. When you have hispanic kids growing up in homes that english is the second language you will naturally see lower API scores for them that will pull down the schools average. Thus High API scores is often as much a factor of a lack of diversity as anything else.
oh no you don’t. there’s no thread skimming here. You stated that growing up in homes where english is the 2nd language “naturally” will see kids with lower API schore. There was no implied or direct comment that you are using this as a surrogate data point.
stick to the facts, guy. you jumped the gun and called people names first. that fits with your reputation here. enuff said.
