[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]^ Oyster is an outlier because of its location, high attendance by people with high SES and its Hispanic population. The schools that are problematic are majority AA with AA administrators and student body. [/quote] I agree Oyster might be an outlier, so is Eaton, so is Hearst. But saying all of DCPS is a problem actually misses the point that there are a handful of schools where parents have through lottery and commuting and like-minded parents in particular cachements been able to develop very diverse open minded schools where a bi-racial child would not stand out, would likely be challenged and would have lower likelihood of a teacher not challenging them. My guess is that there are few more than what I have named above. If you attend one shout it out, these schools are actually one of the interesting and valuable examples of when real estate does not define destiny. [/quote]
