[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Also in the high school age group, DCPS is more heavily AA than in the younger grades, so it makes sense that Duke Ellington‘s population is more heavily black than DCPS as a whole. [/quote] Sure but........ DE is in Ward 3, which is mostly white. How come DE doesn't do a better job at engaging and recruiting its neighbours? And Hispanics are clearly underrepresented, while many live in NE, closer to the school than those in SE. Why the disparity?[/quote] You don't recruit to an audition-based school. It's an arts magnet. If people want to go, they prepare and audition, wherever they are from, whatever their background. I've been to those auditions and the percentage mix chosen each year is almost exactly the percentage mix of those who actually showed up to audition.[/quote]
