[quote=Anonymous]Is the school you are considering (other than JR) safe? Whether within, or even outside getting there? I ask because elementary is one thing. By middle /HS there can be a lot of delineating who is in/out at any given time, and this can be expressed with violence at all schools, but moreso at lower income (ie fronting and jumping and beat downs and respect/disrespect) unless the schools takes a strong stand to build an ethos and provide security (not saying JR does a great job of this at all, but more $/less overall proclitivity to front for ones peers through violence rather than other means...). JR also has a sizable black population so your kid wouldn't be a singleton as a white kid (if that's what they like/are used to) but they could certainly find black friends. I am thinking of that white kid who attended the HBCU in the old Kid n' Play movies  :D I would definitely have many more questions beyond academics OP. And yes, if your kid wants to be around lots of high achieving black kids and can meet the standard himself why not Banneker?[/quote]
