[quote=Anonymous]FWIW, I think a lot of DC's middle-class AA families who cannot afford private school have the same concern about peer pressure influences in high school---perhaps even more so than white and Asian families. From what I have seen, Latin has a very strong cohort of AA parents who are educated, solidly middle class, want to keep their kids sheltered from the larger DCPS high school options, and like the fact that Latin unabashedly teaches character, values and how to behave as a responsible member of society as part of its core mission, along with offering significant college application and scholarship seeking assistance. So yes, Latin's HS may be majority AA---but it appears to be very far removed from the stereotype that many non-AA parents in DC have in their heads.[/quote]
