[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Isn't the issue that DC has a lottery system, this is a charter school, so that this school is miles better than the school that a child could be going to in a different part of the district?  And that child going to a different school in a different part of the district is in high danger of not finishing high school, forget attending college?  I think numbers like that for this demo, is astounding. [b] Now, whether your child who has the opportunity to pay for a Sidwell, or has parents who can afford to live in a suburb with great public schools or area in DC with good public schools can do better - that's not really the issue, is it[/b]?[/quote]

Of course that is the issue.  If you are a family that is trying to decide between moving to the suburbs and attending Latin (or attending private), then the question of "Does Latin get its students into good colleges considering the average demographic of its students" is not relevant.  You are more interested in the question of "What kind of college will my kid get into if they go to Latin?"[/quote]
