[quote=Anonymous]When you look at East Silver Spring's test scores, especially the ones for 3rd and 4th grade (why none for 5th grade?), it looks like they are doing a pretty good job given the demographics of the students - lots of lower incomes and lots of non-native English speakers. I wouldn't have qualms about sending my kids there based on the paper stats. But it would worry me about my child being the only one of his or her race in the class. I'm black, by the way, but I think it's a perfectly legitimate concern for white parents too. Again, not because of the academics of the school or the effect of that on my child's academic progress, but I just think it's healthier for a child if there are more than one or two others of their race in a classroom. I imagine it wouldn't be a huge issue in K-2, but I think it would by 3rd or 4th.[/quote]
