[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]OK, so why isn't this great school far more diverse? Why is it 3% white in a city where whites are more than 40% of the population these days? Just poor PR? Serious question.

Glad your teens are happy there thus far but I'm skeptical. You can shout "strong public options!" all you want. [b]But the inconvenient truth is that few UMC families are convinced.  [/quote]

Ok, and? A school can't be a "strong public option" until it "convinces" UMC families to attend?

WTF. [/quote]
Honestly, grow up. Of course, a strong DC public high school option isn't truly that without significant buy-in from UMC families, though I might make an exception for DC Prep, Seed and the KIPP schools. By significant, I mean at least at the MacArthur level, where a good-sized cohort of UMC families jumps in every fall.

You send your teen to a struggling DC public high school where most students don't work at grade level or above, say Eastern?  If you do, you're foolish, if you don't, pipe down. Spare us the silly, holier-than-though performative indignation. Save it for MAGAs. [/quote]
