[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]We live in the neighborhood and I'm very interested in McKinley Tech as a high school option if my kids end up being interested in STEM topics (and smart enough to get accepted). They are 2 and 5 now, so this is a long way off. [b]What I don't understand is why there are so few white kids there? Any thoughts?[/b] Do the kids come from throughout the city? Is there diversity in terms of SES?[/quote] There are very few white highschool kids in DC, period. It's just a small demographic sliver. Those few are in private school, SWW, and - increasingly - Wilson. Keeping your eyes set on only those options just because they make you feel comfortable seems very limiting to me.[/quote] Any thoughts? Did you just move to the area, are you new to urban education? Are you new to DC? Are you incredibly naive? Where do your children go to school now? Hell there's very few "whites" in the catchment area for McKinley period!!!![/quote]
