[quote=Anonymous]PPs often come to DCUM touting Stuart Hobson's competitive PARCC scores, claiming that the main issue the Cluster faces are racism and marketing problems. The message is: UMC/in-boundary/white parents don't know just how strong Stuart Hobson is academically, at least on a comparative basis in DC public. It's an old story, and a tired one. In-boundary Cluster parents simply aren't as ignorant, or as racist, as you imply, PP. As a general rule, in-boundary parents don't like the feel of Hobson, and don't want to take the risk that their children won't test into Walls or Banneker (if AA) after Hobson. They're rejecting the complete SH package, not the PARCC scores. We were looking for a competitive middle school chess team, a serious math team, organized preparation for local and regional science and robotics competitions, a strong debating club. We didn't find any of that at SH. [/quote]
