[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Silver Spring and Takoma Park have some of the best outcomes in the country for Black boys.

https://www.nytimes.com/interactive/2018/03/19/upshot/race-class-white-and-black-men.html

"The Washington suburb contains some of the rare neighborhoods where black and white boys appear to do equally well."

Did you look at the actual data for the Takoma park schools? The differences between white kids and black kids in achievement in test scores is stark. Perhaps the differential is smaller than in other schools but there is still a dramatic difference in achievements [/quote]

That's not what the NYT article says. But that's not really to OP's point anyway. The is the average but that cluster, Blair and Blair feeders, has a really high concentration of high achieving Black students. Plus her child would have access to apply to all the DCC magnets and all those schools have also have a high concentration of high achieving Black students. These are schools like Wheaton with PLTW which steals kids away from other magnets each year.[/quote]
