[quote=Anonymous]Seems to me like almost all parents, black white Hispanic Asian, want their children in schools with strong test scores and motivated peers. On the flip side, almost all parents try to avoid schools with low test scores. As a result, many parents try to get their kids into Deal and Wilson feeder schools even if they aren't zoned for those schools. Are they doing that to chase higher test scores, or is it secretly to avoid majority black schools? In DC, it is hard to tell because most of the majority black schools have lower test scores. And if the white parents are applying OOB to avoid their majority black neighborhood schools, then aren't the black parents applying OOB from those same neighborhoods just as guilty of avoiding majority black schools? The black parents who make that choice are just as likely to be motivated by race prejudice against black students as the white parents. [/quote]
