[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I can think of a dozen kids I have come in contact with (babysitters, neighbors, older siblings, etc.) who have graduated from SH in last 10 years. They've gone to Banneker, Walls, Ellington and Wilson. And a range of decent colleges, including Ivy League and top notch state schools.  [/quote]

Some kids will do well anywhere.  Most won't.  I've lived across the street from SH since the 90s. Unless their demographics shift pretty radically in the next 5 years, we're not interested for our little kids. I don't see this happening. More charters will just open to draw in the CH middle-class families who don't like their neighborhod middle school options, like Washington Latin's planned 2nd campus.[/quote]

What’s wrong with the demographics?[/quote]

Nothing, if you're fine with 80% AA and OOB and half low SES at SH in a neighborhood that's become overwhelmingly UMC and largely white.  If you're race baiting, knock if off already.[/quote]
