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.

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?????

No kidding!! Some of my Black neighbors are extremely wealthy and educated.

Any in DCPS traditional neighborhood non-application schools that do not feed Wilson?

DCI has a large number of middle and upper middle class AA families.

Come on, there really aren't "wealthy" AA families in DC public schools. Some UMC, but fewer proportionate to their numbers than other races (and for good reason).

The same as there aren’t any real wealthy white people in DCPS. But if you mean ~$400-500k income, there are many AA that are in public schools.

Compared to % of whites in category above and overall % AA in the city with income above, its small. And I would bet all of them are in public schools that feed into Wilson.

My point is that most white folks >500k are also private. Wilson and Deal are predominantly $200-300, maybe $350k earners. The true wealthy are in private regardless of race.

And compared to the rest of the city and the DMV, a family of 4 with $200-350K annual HHI is also in the upper-income tier (aka wealthy). https://www.pewresearch.org/fact-tank/2018/09/06/are-you-in-the-american-middle-class/

Our HHI is 360K, we would have to make about $200K more to pay the 100K in tuition that sending our kids to private schools would cost. Maybe families with only children send their kids at a lower income. We bought in a Wilson/Deal feeder pattern. We do have a nice house and a great life, I am not complaining or crying poor, just noting that it takes a very high income (or family money) to afford private schools in DC.

Come on, there are strong DC parochial K-8 schools in SE and NW charging 12-15 K in tuition, along with several good parochial high schools in the District charging 20-25K.

We can afford that kind of tuition for two kids on our 200K a year, not easily but we certainly can.

Many people are not interested in parochial.
