[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=jsteele][quote=Anonymous]So now the Brookland inbounds schools are "poorly-performing"  - Burroughs is a 4-star school, higher than the greatly-discussed Stokes PCS. By "poorly-performing" do you mean mostly Black? Or do you have some other metric to dismiss Burroughs as poorly-performing?

If it's only about charter vs inbound, then how come the majority-Black charters (like the 4-star DC Prep) in Brookland aren't discussed here?[/quote]

Guess what? According to the report, Burroughs gets discussed here almost as much as Shining Stars. So there is interest in the higher-performing schools. How much time have you spent discussing low-performing schools outside your neighborhood? I don't know a lot about DC Prep but I thought that it had a specific mission to provide for underserved communities, which doesn't really describe our user base.

"almost as much" ha ha

"underserved communities, which doesn't really describe our user base" yeah that's the whole point[/quote]

What's the whole point? That some suit at Brookings thought DCUM was a valid snapshot of all parents in DCPS and their opinions of schools based on a randomized, context-free word counts? Or was the whole point their false assumption that every anonymous poster here lives in DC, has kids in DCPS, is rich, and white, and is not trolling?[/quote]
