[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]In terms of ITS - I personally know black kids who were pushed out. And, by the demographics that they themselves report, they have very low percentages of at-risk, special ed or economically disadvantaged kids.  45% white, 38% black. As stated above, their demographics are not at all reflective of the DC public school student population.[/quote]

This. With all due respect to 8:01, I have the yearbooks, too. While the number of black boys in PK3 and PK4 seems reasonable, as you get into the middle-elementary years, the "diversity" becomes very skewed, and the number of black boys relative to other demographic groups starts to dwindle before picking back up toward the middle school years, as white students start to leave.

Not surprising if you look at the stats. The percentage of black students at ITS who perform at or above grade level is less than half of that for white students for ELA and less than a quarter for math. If you look at the most recent Equity Report, the suspension rate for black students is MORE THAN 6 TIMES HIGHER than for white students.

Not bashing on ITS, but just to point out that it's not the bee's knees for everyone.[/quote]

I can appreciate that. I’m just saying that my AA child is thriving there and I am happy that he’s in a majority minority setting that matches our neighborhood and his out of school network. [/quote]
