[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]FWIW, a few years ago now, DCUM convinced my nervous first time parent self that I would be totally fine moving IB for Ludlow-Taylor and sending my kids there. I know L-T isn’t a Ward 7 or 8 school, but it is also isn’t JKLM — and it especially wasn’t back then — and it’s actually super diverse. I came here hoping to be convinced to try my DCPS IB and I was. It’s been great. I really don’t think DCUM uniformly pushes parents towards whiter schools. It 100% did not in my case. Alternative school was much whiter/more established/etc.[/quote] Yes, I've seen this, too. The local email list was probably more helpful than DCUM, but overall I think DCUM has helped some local DCPS that may have been overlooked or assumed to be "bad schools." Charters, too. Mary McLeod Bethune comes to mind as one majority Black school that gets decently positive coverage here (justified or not is another conversation).[/quote]
