this is why there are only 7 at stuy.

Just as I suspected (and i might've posted this on here before).

I[b]f you are poor and URM and good enough for stuy, you are going to get into a better elite private for free.[/b] [/quote]

Amazing.  This is the same as what I see in MCPS.  The top Black athletes in HS get poached by private schools in DMV after MS, and they get free HS education.

I had heard this from a friend who was a coach in WMHS a few years back. 
Whenever the economy goes in a slump, full paying parents in private schools start to transfer their students to public schools.  During those years, private schools are less apt to recruit black athletes with promise of free education, because their regular admission numbers are down. Invariably, the public schools gain really strong athletes in those years.  All the times when the poor HS like Watkins Mill HS has done well, it has been because the private schools have not recruited these athletes enmasse. [/quote]
