In the book, they refer to a program that takes the best students (i.e., skims the cream off the top) which it refers to as a “creaming” program. The book states that these students are provided with additional resources and supports which lead to better outcomes. In other words, their outcomes should not be compared to those of the general population being studied without acknowledging the role of the program. (This is a non-fiction book that follows a group of girls from a “party dorm” through 5 years. I could try to describe the book, but you’d probably get a better synopsis from Amazon!)
