[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]SSMA parent here. Still loving it. Our son is learning so much, the Spanish program is going great and the community association is working great with the administration. Just so that people know, most of those parents that left are all white, so make your conclusions with that in mind. All seats were filled and no financial danger for the school, even if haters want to build fear in those who don’t know[/quote]

Oh, please tell us what conclusions we should be drawing by your unfounded claim that most of the parents who left were white (which is 100% untrue).[/quote]

We're an African American family who left SSMA. I didn't hate the school and may have stayed if we hadn't gotten in to one of our top choices. This is an incredibly insulting assertion. I know white families, black families, Hispanic families, and Asian families who left the school. I know white families, black families, and Hispanic families who left. Please don't turn this into an argument about race, the SSMA community I was a part of was better than that.[/quote]

Retention stats are here: https://dcschoolreportcard.org/schools/166-3066/metric/reenrollment

AA: 77.39%
Hispanic/Latino any race: 87.5%
Two or more races: 66.66%
White: 54.54%

So basically the retention isn't very good for any group.[/quote]

These numbers are for the last school year... I can imagine this years retention is worse[/quote]
