[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]There aren't a lot of good high school options EOTR for non-selective schools - if your child has an IEP or other challenges and and won't get into Bard, your options for high school in ward 8 or 7 are very limited. Thurgood Marshall, maybe Friendship. Both have long long waitlist, and if kids don't get in they have to travel a long long way to go to a decent high school.

Right now selective high schools (Walls, Banneker, Bard, McKinley) in our city cream the strongest academic and behavioral students from our non-selective options leaving them to educate the rest. Even though it's non-selective KIPP high school still has AP classes and an honors program and athletics and arts, they also give students a ton of wraparound college and career support for free, something that a lot of families EOTR can't afford but that kids still deserve and need. I don't have kids at KIPP but if I lived EOTR I would send my kids there. I went to a KIPP fundraiser last year and did a tour of the high school and was really impressed with their program.

KIPP and Latin II will both be open lottery, so why do we need both?  [/quote]
