[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Is it possible that AA families/teachers have less of a desire to attend/teach at this school for some reason?  [/quote]
Well, it's certainly true that white Hill families have been HIGHLY motivated to get into SWS, which is perceived as being better than almost every other Hill school. Witness the extremely unattractive proximity push by white neighbors a couple years back.[/quote]

SWS is a good school.  And many SWS parents love it.  I mean L-O-V-E it.  But not so much with being perceived as better than almost all Hill schools.  Personally I wouldn't send my kid there beyond PK4, or maybe K.  But that's actually what annoys me most about your post.  It is (supposed to be) a city wide pure lottery school.  But the numbers clearly belie that reality.  How much the SAHM brigade at SWS really, really, really wants to get in shouldn't matter.

P.S. All lotter lists going to central is going to be a real wake up call for SWS and the Montessori monster that both used to just ignore the actually lottery lists. [/quote]
