[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I only have anecdotes from friends but [b]I think if you are looking for a diverse school with strong academics in DCPS, it’s hard to find one like Maury that meets that criteria except maybe for Shepherd[/b]. The particular difficulty may be social between the at-risk black kids and the UMC ones. FWIW none of the middle class or international black families I knew of went on to the MS … they did privates or charters. Academically the school sees enough kids of all types that I don’t think you have to worry about your kid not being challenged or being assumed to be at-risk, but that would be one thing to look out for. [/quote] Others I would put in that category (depending on your definitions of "diverse" and "strong academics") include Hyde-Addison, Whittier, Ludlow-Taylor, Garrison, and Seaton.[/quote]
