[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I can think of a dozen kids I have come in contact with (babysitters, neighbors, older siblings, etc.) who have graduated from SH in last 10 years. They've gone to Banneker, Walls, Ellington and Wilson. And a range of decent colleges, including Ivy League and top notch state schools.  [/quote]

Some kids will do well anywhere.  Most won't.  I've lived across the street from SH since the 90s. Unless their demographics shift pretty radically in the next 5 years, we're not interested for our little kids. I don't see this happening. More charters will just open to draw in the CH middle-class families who don't like their neighborhod middle school options, like Washington Latin's planned 2nd campus.[/quote]

What’s wrong with the demographics?[/quote]

Nothing, if you're fine with 80% AA and OOB and half low SES at SH in a neighborhood that's become overwhelmingly UMC and largely white.  If you're race baiting, knock if off already.[/quote]

You are scum.

PS- Hardy had similar demographics only a few years ago. The white kids didn’t die once a few started going there. My kid does to a 80% AA school and she doesn’t die at school. In fact, she’s safer at her 80% AA school than a suburban school and threat of guns.[/quote]

I don't want my Asian kid as the proverbial point man in a battle as a student at a DCPS middle school, going in first so that 4 guys behind him won't be hurt or killed. The Stuart Hobson catchment area looks to be at least 5% Asian. To my knowledge, there is just one Asian student at the school, a 6th grader whose mom tells me that they won't be back next year. No way. You guys don't get it. Every family in DC isn't white, AA or Latino.  [b]When Asian parents totally avoid a school, something is very wrong with the program.[/b][/quote]

Don't take this the wrong way, but you don't have enough numbers for anyone to care[/quote]
