[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Oh come on, Eastern is no back-up at all, other than for a tiny number of UMC Hill families.  This is just as much of a no-brainer as it was a decade back.  The fact that the Eastern District is more than half white while the school's white enrollment is stuck in the low single digits tells us that it's not in fact "all relative."  The school is a veritable dead end.  Where's the bridge to Eastern, with most UMC Hill families avoiding the several feeder middle schools?  And even if these kids do stick with DCPS for middle school, almost all of them run to Walls, Ellington, Banneker, privates or the burbs for high school.  Those are the true "back ups," not Eastern.

Again with the white student metric for high schools, but if you insist on it, those aren't the accurate numbers currently anyway. For the families who are there, maybe they enroll there due to not getting in elsewhere, maybe it's for the IB or EPIC program or the E-Sports program. Who knows, and really not sure why everybody gets so upset about it! [/quote]

DP. What's not accurate about the numbers? There were 21 white students in last year's Eastern audit. 153 in Eastern's middle school feeders and 1,812 in Eastern's elementary school feeders.

I'd agree it's growing, but still rather slowly. In 2019-2020 (when the 2023-2024 seniors were in 8th grade), there were only 96 white students at Eastern's middle school feeders. And in 2016-2017 (when the 2023-2024 seniors were in 5th grade), there were 1,402 white students at Eastern's elementary school feeders.[/quote]
