[quote=Anonymous]Here is the problem- White families will happily attend true magnet/gifted schools that select the true top of the class. But to create such a school would mean DCPS would wind up with a school that is majority white. Which would look terrible and DCPS would be accused of racism. So then they would be forced to carve out ways to make it better reflect the makeup of the city...which would mean lowering the bar to entry and/or making acceptance criteria opaque. At which point it loses all credibility as a magnet school. [/quote]
