Can this be expected to happen to other schools as the socio and racial makeup of the schools change? Is this what people are afraid of?
    Poupard is fed the most from HW, hell it's IN harper woods...and the HW component has become mostly DPS refugees. There is a ton of remedial education going on at all levels where DPS refugees come into the picture. It has nothing to do with "white flight" from GP Woods, and everything to do with a portion of GP Schools becoming defacto school of choice for those fleeing DPS.

    What Poupard should illustrate is success in school is more than just throwing money and resources at schools. Parents need to be involved and the household needs to be stable for kids to thrive. I don't think Poupard is the only school to ever see it's scores inversely correlated to the number of those getting food assistance.
