Lady Pi Phi, I'm not sure if you read an article that was in the National Post a few years ago about an elementary school in Markham, Ontario. The school profiled is made up mostly of first generation Canadians and immigrants who speak another language at home. Yet, that school scored above provincial standards in the Grade 3 and Grade 6 tests.

No, I did not read that article. I can't explain it either. Perhaps those kids are an exception to the rule. Perhaps that's just a very good school. It would be interesting to see how other schools with a majority of first generation and immigrant kids from other areas measured up.
