But I didn’t realize that only the white kids at Deal are seeking a rigorous high school curriculum.

If you refuse to even consider Banneker, which has a far better track record than DCI (with zero track record and rookie teachers) ... your kid is missing out.

Well if it’s truly to alleviate Wilson, then why not give those 300 extra seats or so with the Banneker expansion preference to kids coming from Deal

Because Banneker is an application school, but you knew that I presume.

We all know that. Give preference/priority to the Deal kids who meet all the requirements to get in. Easy enough if that’s truly the reason for the Banneker expansion.

You know what the PP meant and it’s poor and at risk kids. The council that voted for Banneker says that it’s 99% majority black and the expansion will serve more black kids in the city meaning poor and at risk kids.

You and the city can spin it however you want but we all know it’s not to alleviate Wilson and Walls.

Why do folks on this board assume all black people are poor or at risk?????

They obviously don't, you just think they do.

Yes, along those lines let’s give preference to Caucasian, Asia, and Latino students coming from Deal to better represent the city. It sure isn’t 99% black like Banneker.

True. We don’t assume everyone black is poor or at risk. There are educated middle class blacks people in the city. But if you look at economic parameters, the overwhelmingly majority of poor people in this city are black. So it correlates to say the overwhelmingly majority of blacks people in this city is poor.

Catch up. Banneker isn't 99% Black. https://dcschoolreportcard.org/schools/1-0402

Asian 3%
Black/AA 74%
Latino 20%
Two or more races 2%
White 1%

Even more reason to give preference to Caucasians then, wouldn’t you say at just 1%. So give preference to Caucasian students from Deal who meet the requirements if the expansion of Banneker is really to alleviate Wilson. Give those extra seats created with the expansion to the above group. Easy enough.

White Deal students with good grades and PARCC scores don't need a preference for Banneker. They simply need to apply and enroll.

I wouldn't hold my breath....white families that choose Deal and SWW are desperate to escape contact with poor brown children.

[Anonymous]

Yes, because DCPS won't support test-in GT programs in the upper elementary or middle school grades that feed high-powered HS programs with diverse student bodies found in some other US cities.

Exactly. Let me see a white student who meets qualifications and isn’t accepted before you go changing preferences. You’re solving for a problem that doesn’t exist because white kids don’t apply, but you knew that.

Most of the black kids from UMC families in DC historically have opted for private. Most of the AA kids in DCPS are in fact from lower SES/at-risk backgrounds. The notable exceptions where most AA families are middle/UMC are WOTP, upper 16th St., Hillcrest, and a few other neighborhoods. Schools like Shepherd have a bunch of middle class black kids, for example, but they're kind of a unicorn.
