[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]1. "not very diverse" - that the classic "nice white parents" attitude (https://www.southwestjournal.com/voices/letters-to-the-editor/2020/09/nice-white-parents/#:~:text=In%20the%20podcast%2C%20they%20call,white%20students%20in%20a%20school)
2. "leads nowhere for high school" - its not clear to me that Latin or Basis are all that exceptional of high schools; there are quite a few (public and private) high school options in DC that are not just Eastern (or even Walls)[/quote]

What about the nice Asian parents? At the most recent JA open house, when I asked a senior administrator how many Asian students were enrolled. I was told that there were 4. Then I was told, correction, there were 3, possibly 2.

Which appealing public HS options do Hill families have? McKinley Tech? They let in many poorly prepared kids. Eastern, Dunbar? Disasters. If you don't go for BASIS or one of the Latins, can't afford a private school and your kid strikes out at Walls (an increasingly likely outcome), what then?  We know that Hill students have lost access to Wilson, and that the new HS Hardy will feed into may or may not materialize. [/quote]
