[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I only have anecdotes from friends but I think if you are looking for a diverse school with strong academics in DCPS, it’s hard to find one like Maury that meets that criteria except maybe for Shepherd. The particular difficulty may be social between the at-risk black kids and the UMC ones. FWIW none of the middle class or international black families I knew of went on to the MS … they did privates or charters.

Academically the school sees enough kids of all types that I don’t think you have to worry about your kid not being challenged or being assumed to be at-risk, but that would be one thing to look out for. [/quote]

This is awesome. Thank you for the information![/quote]

You mean the anecdote.  Not the “information.”  I say that because this posters says that “none” of the “middle class or international black families” she knew went to the local MS.  That doesn’t mean none did.  Heck, it doesn’t even mean she knows who is “middle class” or international and who isn’t.  It just means that her social circle didn’t.  [/quote]
