[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Why doesn't DC have a public STEM high school on par with TJ and Blair? There's certainly a need for one.[/quote] New to town? I've been here 20 years. To create a public STEM HS on a par with TJ or Blair, DC would need to run bona fide test-in ES GT programs and MS programs, and a HS STEM program where the admissions bar is set much higher than at Banneker or Walls. They won't because most of the students who would clear the various admissions hurdles would be white and affluent. DCPS still prioritizes providing remedial education to low-income minority children in planning and budgeting, with the effort sucking oxygen out of all other programming. Period. [/quote]
