Household$40001- $45000 Poverty Rate: Family- Over 15% Unemployment Rate- 8.0-10.0 %

data means that over 15 people out of a 100 are in poverty, and 8-10 people out of 100 is unemployed. While the income of a household is around $40,000.

SAT math scores were in the range of 441- 460 High school dropout rates were 15.00- 25.00 % And last high school graduates to 4 year college was from 50 60 %

The rate of high school dropouts were extremely high. About 15 to 25 people out of 100 people dropped out of school. And graduates to a 4 year college wasnt as high as it should have been but it was reasonable, it had 50 to 60 people out of 100 people graduated. Looking at the SAT math scores I guess also were good almost in the 500 range.

Our community at TechBoston is like the surrounding community in Boston because we all are struggling in times of people with no jobs and high school dropouts. Also because of poverty and peoples household income. Without people having a job and students dropping out there's no way to pay their income so there's a lot of poverty. Another way they are alike is because population wise. Places as of these two can have a possible way of getting overpopulated.

Our community at TechBoston is diverse from the community in Boston because due to the education activity it has an effect on the students and also the teachers. What I mean by this is the teachers care about our education and if were are safe and learning something. If they didnt they wouldnt get out their bed to come in and teach a whole bunch of kids who don t want to learn nothing. Also the population is another reason why we are diverse from the Boston community. Boston has a whole lot of people compared to the school it self. TechBoston only has 1,035 people while Boston has 20,000 something people.
