[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]DC first and foremost. Silver Spring. And Arlington just resegragated it's HS's--one has a PTA budget of 50k (few kid's on free/reduced lunch)  and another has a budget of 15K (disproportionately free/reduced lunch)--you could take a stand and send your child to the integrated school that the Arlington whites are screwing. I would also look at Reston--south not north. They are pretty integrated. As for the people who are howling about self-segregation--it is called identity development. Take a class at your loacl community college and it will explain the dynamics you don't understand.  [/quote]

I find it ridiculous that anyone would suggest DC "first and foremost," knowing that white parents in DC won't integrate any middle and high schools in DC other than Deal and Wilson.  So, yes, "best integrated" completely on THEIR terms, even if it means that most AA students in DCPS continue to be relegated to schools that have virtually no students that are not black or Hispanic.

Silver Spring and Reston, I could understand, but DCPS is the worst when it comes to integration.  No other school system would tolerate what DCPS allows.
