[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Not inspired by ITS's scores, and I say that as a long time parent. 25/18 for AA kids may be better than the DC average, but it is awful. 62/62 for white kids is quite poor also, especially compared to WOTP white scores, e.g., 81/84 at Key.

I want my bright child challenged and lifted by a room full of smart kids. Sadly, it looks like I've been kidding myself about ITS.

You assume that your &quot;bright child&quot; is not being enriched based on test scores?  You picked the wrong school if that's the metric you care about.  [/quote]

+1.  also, being surrounded by a &quot;room full of smart kids&quot; is not exactly real life.  in real life, some people have book smarts, some people do not.  some people have common sense, some people do not.  insulating your child so that they are surrounded by people just like them is not really doing them any favors in life.

Not exactly real life? It is for some (see: Sidwell and other top privates). Not to be blunt, but putting a bright child in a classroom where &gt; 50% of the kids are borderline innumerate and/or illiterate is a terrible waste of potential.[/quote]
