NP here, but the only things the studies cite is that standardized test scores don't dip and kids "might" become more empathtic and work well in groups. The first one is too low and too general a fact to convince me that my particular kids would attend the same colleges they might if they were at Wilson. The second two are not science, but theory and unproven theory at that. Separately, Wilson is very diverse -- a lot more diverse than most other DC highschools. [/quote]
