[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]It's strange when people say that Montessori school = white students. Shining stars has more black and Latinos than white. Lee is pretty much 50/50 and has AA families driving all the way from ward 7 and 8. [/quote] OP thought s/he was cute with the great white hope reference. Shining Stars and Lee have relatively low % of low income students, 28% and 20%. The model appears to appeal to a certain demographic.[/quote] I think you're going to continue to see that. There are more and more middle class families (of all colors) in the city. Proven schools like KIPP, DC Prep, Two Rivers, Capital City and Haynes will continue to pull low income families while new schools will attract families that are willing to take risks (more likely middle income). I don't think it's a reflection on any school, just a fact. AA mom that was once low income [/quote]
