[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]The test scores at EH are high for white students who aren't ell and don't have disabilities. But they are high for that population at any dcps that has enough of such kids to report. But getting a 4 or 5 on parcc isn't the same as having good language and arts classes, sports and other extracurriculars, and a group of classmates from stable and highly educated families. Some people are happy or ok without those things. Some see the economic diversity at a school like EH as a positive that outweighs any negatives, or at least something tolerable because it allows them to stay in their home on the Hill. Some kids will thrive and others will wish their parents moved to MoCo. There isn't one right answer.[/quote]

Thank you for this nuanced response. As someone who lives on the Hill who isn’t white and does have a kid with disabilities, I’ve always felt that the smug parents who pat themselves on the back for “choosing” EH/Eastern were being more than a little bit racist. [/quote]

I’ve been posting about EH and my kid does have a disability. And what PP posted suggesting there are no good extracurricular opportunities or “stable”
families there is just untrue. [/quote]

Don’t you dare presume what would work for my disabled child. I bet you’re a white Karen who walks around judging everyone for their school choice while their white children get suspended over at eastern due to poor parenting. Give me a break. Keep your mouth shut about what you don’t understand. [/quote]
