[quote=Anonymous]PP this has been debated for years. Just search through the archives. I think you have hit on all the reasons. Even though it is a city-wide school, it still primarily attracts families from Capitol Hill. The school is just not positioned well for many parts of the city. It has only just moved to the swing space this year and that is only temporary, so I’m not sure why you would expect it to look like Hill East (which also has a lot of white families by the way). The school is not a traditional school, and this I think this has not been attractive to POC families at its beginning. I personally know one POC family that left the school because they didn’t think it was academic enough. The younger grades are more diverse and the staff is becoming more diverse. The school is very dedicated to openness, diversity, and equity. It even has parent/teacher group dedicated to these issues. [/quote]
