[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I don't want to sound too simple, and I'm not discrediting the idea that SWS couldn't benefit from a more diverse student body and faculty.  But I know location played a huge role in how we ranked schools, and I would imagine that for many other families the location of SWS and lousy public transportation access would be a dealbreaker.  If AA families tend to have lower SES, I would think they're more likely to depend on public transportation.  It's a nice school, but is it metro + bus nice?  For many, I would think the answer is no and the preference would be to go to school either close to home or someplace that doesn't require too much trouble.  My son is in a charter that skews pretty white, and the best I can figure it's at least in part because it's a PITA to get there without a car.  CMI appears to be the same way.    [/quote]

Transportation/location could be a factor but Isn't Ludlow Taylor a few blocks away? It was majority OOB/AA for years, not all of those kids came from MD.[/quote]
