[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]People using their neighborhood schools instead of charters would help. There are plenty of integrated neighborhoods in DC, white people just don’t want to send their kids to the local school.[/quote]

I dunno.  Depends on what folks mean by "integrated."  A specific percentage/balance of races?  Basis charter school had pretty great "integration" numbers by that metric.  Much better (again, depending on what you mean/want) than my neighborhood school Brent (where my kid was previously).

Basis 2018-19:
34%  Black, non-Hispanic
7%  Asian
9%  Hispanic / Latino
<1%  Native American / Alaska Native
<1%  Native Hawaiian / Other Pacific Islander
40%  White non-Hispanic
9%  Multiracial

Brent (same year):
16%  Black, non-Hispanic
4%  Asian
12%  Hispanic / Latino
<1%  Native American / Alaska Native
61%  White non-Hispanic
7%  Multiracial[/quote]

Same for Latin which is much more diverse than our WOTP elementary. And way more "integrated" socially than any other school I've seen. [/quote]

All of those schools, and all of the WOTP schools, are integrated; none are segregated. You guys are shifting the conversation to diversity, which is a different topic. When academics talk about eliminating segregated schools, they are specifically talking about minority children attending schools that are almost entirely minority. For example, every single school in Ward 8 is segregated. Leckie Education campus is the only one that is close to becoming integrated.[/quote]
