[quote=jsteele][quote=Anonymous]So basically, the two schools that prove the point of the research are Banneker and CMI. If you can't explain those, you must agree that white people are causing school segregation due to racism.

Where is a good analysis of these two schools, then? I do think that being in an under 5% minority at any school is going to turn a parent off, for better or worse. That rules out Banneker. Beyond that, CMI has been discussed on here ad nauseum, and I think that it has to do with education model and perhaps its facilities.

The real trend of parents of means (of all races) away from DCPS and toward a few select charters (outside UNW) is more interesting to analyze and would require a much better research plan. [/quote]

I think if you want to find a DCUM blindspot, the "gotcha" is not Banneker, but McKinley.

Part of the discussion that can't be ignored is the geographic clustering of white families. If you subtract the number of white students enrolled in their inbounds DCPS from the total white students in DC Public schools (DCPS and charter), you have a very small number left with which to work.
