[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I am mystified as to why this one poster seems to believe DCPS has some kind of moral obligation to produce a test-in school that is more Asian than TJ (which is 70% Asian). And I am even more mystified as to why they think posting on DCUM is the way to achieve that goal. [/quote]

I think the idea is that there should be more opportunities for high-achieving students purely based on merit who are not zoned for JR or win the charter lottery. That used to be via the Walls test, but they got rid of that. [/quote]

Exactly. The non-JR zoned high schools in DC have average SAT scores between 750 and 800. [b]The kid who is already getting ~1300 in the 8th grade and doesn't get into a selective high school -- DCPS has nothing for that kid and no interest in educating them.[/b] [/quote]

Functionally true. [/quote]

These kids already exist in the freshman classes of Banneker and Walls. [/quote]

And many exist in other places and may be under-educated because they were shut out of Banneker and Walls.[/quote]
