Oakland's grand plan widens achievement gap

The Perimeter Primate blog crunched some numbers (how come it's the volunteers who do this?) and discovered that under the "Expect Success" grand reform plan in the Oakland Unified School District, the achievement gap has magnified.

Perhaps this plan scared even more middle-class families out of OED?

That seems likely to me, though the widening of the gap wouldn't necessarily correlate.
