[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I am not a parent and either of these schools but:

YAY for Ross, that is AMAZING!
Yay for Eaton!
Impressed with Basis and think it has a direct relation of th Latin's significant drop in scores
Stoddert is earning the S in the now ERJKLMMS!!  Very impressed with Stoddert, larger OOB, minority and FARM than many schools WOTP and still scores keep rising.
Keep it up YY (shake the haters off)!
Why don't Shepherd, Mckinley High, and Banneker get love on DCUM?  Can't help to think it's a race thing.  Especially since Shepherd is only 33% FARM (79% black), aren't those the "safe" ones you want your kid to go to school with? :)[/quote]

FWIW, Shepherd's demographics are changing rapidly.  Upper grades are almost completely black, but the new PS3 class (at least what I could tell from school tours and PS3 Pop in and Preview day) will be less so.

In addition, upper grades are mostly OOB and have a higher FARMS percentage, but the PS3 class looks like it will be all IB this year.  I expect test scores will continue to improve, since most Shepherd IB families are relatively high SES.  Who knows, maybe the relatively new International Bacc. curriculum will also help in this regard.

That being said, I have to agree w/a PP--Shepherd is still too far out of the way for most to consider--at least for now, until the school's popularity catches up w/its test scores and potential.

Eeew!  I don't like you and I am IB.  Is this the type of white IB resident we are attracting these days.  Shepherd does not need changing demographics, aka white students to achieve.  Scores have always been decent in spite of the iffy administrations it has had.  [/quote]

Totally agree.  I am an IB parent of an AA boy that is advanced.  Posts like these make me nervous to think who my neighbors are.[/quote]
