[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous] I am curious - anyone have an explanation for why SWS was predominantly white? Odd, given the equal opportunity to enroll (back in the day). Same question for Tyler Si. What's up?[/quote] I don't know that either Tyler SI/SWS were *predominantly* white -- rather, they were significantly whiter than Peabody and Tyler-non SI. And I think that was not b/c of a lack of black families applying to SWS/Tyler SI, but b/c of a lack of white families applying to Peabody/Tyler non-SI. [b]The reason the Hill schools are full of OOB kids is b/c there are spaces for them that aren't filled by IB kids. If you don't want OOB kids there, fill those spaces with your kids. [/b] (FWIW, I am an OOB parent at a Hill school -- though I do live on the Hill, just not IB for the specific school my kid attends.)[/quote] I agree with the bolded. And I am also an OOB parent at two Hill schools, however I do not live on the hill, I live in Ward 8.[/quote]
