[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]What do you define as an integrated school? [/quote]

Studies I've read define a segregated school as one where >80% of the students are minority. So I interpret that to mean that any school that is more than 20% white is integrated. [/quote]

A school that's > 80% of any one race is segregated, especially if it's not in a city that has the same demographic.

But you can also have schools where the student body has lots of races, but the white kids don't play with kids of color after school, or invite them to their houses, and white parents advocate for policies that provide segregation in the classroom even when those policies haven't been shown to help "advanced learners", but just to hurt integration.

Please provide evidence that honors classes in high school don't help "advanced learners".[/quote]

Um, honors for all at Wilson.  AP classes with no barriers to entry throughout DCPS.  This is not the story in the suburban school districts around us, where standards are higher, sometimes much higher.[/quote]
