[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]We toured McKinley and I think it would be a good fit for my white kid.  He wouldn't be the only, and the currently available statistics are a bit behind.

My son's generation of kids was one of the first much larger classes of charter schools to come online.  The kids in his class have been in public schools since PK3.  Also, this generation of parents has been and will be open to trying out unknown quantities.  To be realistic, since test scores are no longer a factor for SWW.  Banneker is getting harder to get into and there's more demand.

As more white kids stay in DC for high school, mark my words, McKinley Tech (which is a good school getting even better) will get more and more diverse every year until it reflects the diversity of DC students attending high schools.

I had a very good feeling touring there.

I would suggest that parents who have no actual experience with it beyond looking at the test scores zip it.[/quote]

LOL!  This is such wishful thinking…….

If you don’t have strong middle schools, you won’t get strong high schools.  That applies to selective high schools in this town too.  Standards in this city is so damn low.

BTW although McKinley says it’s a selective school, everyone gets in.  [/quote]
