[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Not sure if this is an anomaly or not, but my upper 16th St. area neighbors send one of their kids to McKinley.  They are AA but upper middle class and zoned for Deal/Wilson.

My oldest is 4, so I don't really have my finger on the pulse of high school stuff.  Anyone know whether McKinley's student body is primarily low SES, or whether there's a significant middle-class contingent attending currently?[/quote]

59% free lunch eligible.   So there seems to be a lot of students who don't qualify for free lunch.

Comparing last year's CAS scores with Wilson, just for fun, Wilson has more kids rated Advanced, but also more at Basic and Below Basic.  McKinley has fewer students rated Advanced, but also much fewer at Basic/Below Basic and a really solid Proficient block.  Underlying demographic/geographic trends favoring McKinley, I think it's fair to say it'll be an increasingly attractive option in the future.[/quote]
