[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Out of 500 enrolled, how many at Eastern are middle class African Americans?[/quote] To tell from school profile data, 30% are middle class. That would be about 150 if enrollment were 500. But enrollment is actually 167 (there are only 9th graders), which translates into about 50. Either way, the proportion is a lot higher than at Eliot-Hine MS, where only 15% are middle class by that indicator. This confirms, for me, that middle-class AA families who hadn't considered Eliot-Hine as an option (probably taking their kids to Hardy MS or Howard University MS instead) chose Eastern. Indeed, I know some who did. The question for me is what is needed for those families to trust EH enough to return. And that's where I, as your white neighbor who is oblivious to some of the long-standing black-black divisions here, am at a loss. Someone fill me in please![/quote]
