[quote=Anonymous]I was at a gathering on Sunday with a former Assistant Sup of high schools under Dr. Janey.  He asked if Eastern was diverse and my response was no.  So he seemed genuine surprised and I asked why?  He said that he is friends with a person who was overseeing Eastern's IB criteria.

The gentlemen said that Eastern's inaugural class of IB students will be significantly strong if granted IB.  Eastern's IB review was extremely well planned and for it to be 98% AA, that Eastern has set the bar high for comprehensive schools.

In actuality you really don't need a diverse school in DCPS to justify progression.  It is like you don't need to have college/universities to proclaim diversity as a success.  Case in point historically black college/universities are ranked comparably with their white counter-parts.  So let Wilson hold the claim to fame of being a great diverse high school.  There's another title of being a great school that is predominantly all AA aint too bad to have in their favor.  A blue ribbon school title for a predominantly AA high school is not too far-fetched.[/quote]
