[quote=Anonymous]I think Washington Latin is full of crap. Their suspension rates given their population are OUTRAGEOUS and they should be embarrassed about themselves but they are not.  I went to one of their open houses and they had NO response to their demographics looking they way the look and the head of the school kept bragging about how they do not focus on test scores/PARCC, yet somehow they have great scores. I found it beyond disingenuous. Their woman of color who supposedly goes out to recruit in low-income/minority communities (I do not remember her name) was inarticulate and had no specific responses to any questions. She just kept saying "apply - you can't get in if you don't apply." It was flat-out stupid.  A parent of color asked how they can have diversity when they admit that 50% or more of their slots go to sibling preference - no answer.  Their lack of real responses and smugness made me dislike them very much. Plus, to not acknowledge that you have a high SES population and that is what leads to your high test scores without trying tells me all I need to know about them.[/quote]
