[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Yes. Absolutely. I live in a gentrifying area (Brookland) and our IB (Burroughs) definitely does not reflect the diversity of the area. Instead, it's like 95% black and 5% white (which is still an increase from the 1% when I moved here 5 years ago). But that 5% is all in the PK3-4 and K grades. Brookland Middle School is 1% white. Brookland/Ward 5 is surrounded by really good charter schools, and most UMC families here try to get into them. Burroughs, Noyes and Bunker Hill are a last resort. If the charters weren't an option, the neighborhood schools would likely reflect the population more. [/quote] Right. Except that those with means would just move out of the neighborhood so they still wouldn't be represented in the neighborhood schools.[/quote]
