[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Tubman is on our lottery list. We are IB, though, so it's a safety school. There are other schools I'd rather DD go to, for a variety of reasons that are unrelated to Tubman itself. We bought in 2011 because of the improvement in the school. It was a more appealing school than others in the area (Raymond, Powell) at the time and, to us, a perfectly acceptable option if DD does not get into anything else. I think that [b]many white families in the area are put off by the idea of their child potentially being the only white child in their class [/b]more than they are by the proximity of public housing.[/quote] Tubman has a recent history of alienating white parents. If that is the message that was crystal clear to a parent - would you want your child to tbe the only lonely in the classroom all day? [/quote]
