[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]NP who disagrees. In the big picture, Eliot-Hine, Jefferson and Stuart Hobson aren't attracting Asians, this white lady is wary for my own children. The inconvenient truth is that local Asian buy-in is the acid test of quality.  [/quote]

omfg. will you just STOP. If you actually live in W6/W7 with this attitude why did you move here, because the Asian population is tiny! There are suburbs with big Asian populations. be as “wary for your own children” as you like out there. EH and SH are public middle schools in high-poverty, black areas. If you believe that is inherently bad, fine, but stop showboating here. I fine it hard to believe you are even at a Hill ES with your weird comments on “Asian buy-in.” [/quote]

south Asian person here. It's true that Asian people are extremely picky about schools (especially middle and high school), and most of us second generation kids were raised by parents who found the best possible school district closest to work. That's the immigrant way. It's also true there only a small proportion of people in DC are Asian. And it's also true that Basis had surprising number of Asian and South Asian students, for DC, and it made me more curious about the school. [/quote]
