[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]So I guess I’m not tracking- people are upset that SH doesn’t offer advanced science and social studies but neither does the “more highly acclaimed” (please notice quotes) Deal?

I get that SH has kids that are not advanced and may even read at a lower grade level but it seems to me that they have created a space for the high achiever with the offering of advanced ELA and math.  [b]So is the real issue that SH has more students of color?

What are you asking, or perhaps stating? That most of us who live in-boundary for SH with children who could attend are racist?

We're an AA family who'd rather move from the Hill than send our children to Hobson.

There's a giant cohort of kids at SH who work behind grade level and have trouble behaving and learning. Yet DCPS won't track academically, or set up test-in/GT programs you find in many other US cities. In certain American neighborhoods, e.g. in Appalachia, almost all of the tough/behind kids would be white.

Not buying the fact that SH has more student of color than Deal is the crux of the problem here.[/quote]
