Five Ivy League colleges vie for DC student (Banneker HS)

"We" also includes lower and middle class whites, as well as high SES people of all races. I'm sure your omission of these groups as people who count was completely inadvertent. "We" includes everyone, those birn with silver spoons as much as those without a drop to drink.

Precisely, the vagabonds landing on Plymouth Rock and the shores of Jamestown most certainly were White (minus the slaves) and the Framers of the US constitution by WE the people most certainly meant Whites (themselves). The framers of the constitution most certainly did not refer to native American Indians, brown or black people. This was not the intent. WE meant White. Do you agree?

On the contrary, it is not I who made the omission it was the framers of the document who made this purposeful omission. Save you forget our history the American civil war was fought over slavery. Do you agree?

While people can argue whether SATs measure intelligence, Banneker and SWW's DC CAS scores are fantastic but their ratings nationally suck so we know DC CAS is irrelevant.

There are roughly 27,000 high schools in the United States. According to US News, School Without Walls 266 Nationally Ranked, or the top 1/10th of one percent of high schools in the U.S. That doesn't sound too bad.

First of all Congratulations to the family. Ask that the financial aid package be the same every year absent a change in you financial circumstances. A friend enrolled at Harvard and every year the financial aid package was reduced in large increments despite the families income staying the same. Always good to meet with the Director of the FAO and get something in writing if possible. Hope this is helpful to all moving to this stage. Happy Spring!
