[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I'm struggling with this, and am grateful this is an anonymous board, so please be gentle.  I have a middle class white kid who will be starting in Prek3 next year.  I have absolutely no concerns with sending her to a school that is primarily black/latino.  We live in Brightwood and racial and socioeconomic diversity are a pro in our book, not a con.  But when I see a school that is 0-1% white, I wonder what her experience would be like as the ONLY white kid.  Is that a valid concern? If your kids attend one of these schools, how do you think a white kid would fit in?  If you're a parent to a white kid, did you/would you send your kid to one of these schools?[/quote]

I wouldn't worry about "white" per see (your words) but income level and ability. Title I schools and all that come with it...[/quote]

KIPP's PARCC performance outstrips many charters -- the concerns about income level and ability at KIPP are largely just about race purely.  https://www.kippdc.org/kipp-dc-remains-highest-performing-prek3-12-public-school-system-in-d-c/
