[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I roll my eyes when parents come to DCUM to post about how quickly any particular public school will go from primarily serving low SES students to high SES.

The reality is that most parents will vote with their feet for many years before this happens, if it ever happens.[/quote]

DCI at risk is only 19% and last year they only moved 18 spots out of 340 on their Spanish waitlist (similar to Latin) so both of your points of low SES and families leaving are wrong by DC standards.[/quote]

It was so much easier to understand school demographics when FARMs was the operative term for low SES kids.  It's true that DCI doesn't have many homeless kids and very poor families.  But it's attracts plenty of lower middle-class minority kids [b]who just aren't equipped to keep up with[/b] the mostly white and Asian children of uber-educated UMC parents.  That's the elephant in the room.[/quote]

What the f%*#?? Is this a real belief? [/quote]
