[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I have heard nothing but wonderful things about SWS but it always bothered me that a school that you can only get into via lottery and sibling preference is 60% white. The only other Hill elementary with those demographics is Brent (which has a boundary preference). It’s weird to me. If it’s so great, why aren’t more POC families lotterying into it? There are tons of POC on the Hill, H Street, Trinidad who are close enough for SWS to be a great and workable option. So it seems like they are self-selecting out. No one has ever been able to explain this to me.[/quote] Probably has something to do with its original status as a component of Peabody, which has similar demographics. When SWS broke off from Peabody, the Peabody students came with. Factor in sibling preferences and community familiarity, and it’s not so surprise. But, hey, I get your drift. Never pass up a chance to imply racism.[/quote]
