[quote=Anonymous]Dunbar used to be the elite public school in DC pre-integration, so their list of alumni is very impressive. But it no longer gets to admit only the best black students from across the city. Now it is a neighborhood school, and you could point to a lot of different reasons (e.g., having application schools that remove the high scoring kids from the non-application schools, self-segregation, etc. etc.) but yes, it now is under-enrolled, and doesn't have a large proportion of high achieving students. But that doesn't mean I wouldn't look seriously at it, especially if your kid got a spot there. As noted, the facilities are great, and just because the scores could be higher doesn't mean that a good education is not provided, you just need to know your kid! [/quote]
