[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Not 9:37, but I wanted to add to that comment:

In my view, as an LT parent (albeit only in K so far, but we're staying for 1st), the difference in demographics doesn't necessarily make the ECE program *better* than the rest of the school. (From what I've seen, the upper grades are just as strong.)

However, the demographic difference does seem to reassure many white and/or high-SES parents and make them more comfortable with the ECE program.

I've had people (not LT parents, but other Hill parents when they find out my kid is at LT) pretty much say flat-out that their problem with the upper grades is that they're almost entirely black.[/quote]

The number of OOB families in the higher grades makes me think that those parents are engaged enough that they sought better options for their children. Just like everyone on this forum.

Yes - the test scores would seem to indicate that LT has a solid core of kids doing quite well regardless of race.[/quote]
