[quote=Anonymous][quote]The high-performing black kids absolutely needed access to an academic HS. But the single DCPS academic HS was purposely placed in a location that had very poor across-town transportation in 1980.[/quote] Was it consciously placed there to give access to high-performing black kids, or specifically to keep white kids out? If white kids don't want to go to a school with a significant black population, how is it possible to know that it was simply the location that was prohibitive? Would the number of black kids filling Banneker be welcomed in a "safe" part of town? This is an interesting conversation to have in context of the current situation at Hardy and Ellington. In this very thread, I sense a strong push to move OOB students at those schools back to the east side of town. And cross town transportation is still bad, by the way. Some things never change - but the neighborhoods around Banneker and Roosevelt have changed a great deal.[/quote]
