[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Come on, when you have favorable school demographics, you essentially have honors classes.

Not having honors classes in "neighborhood schools" is obviously a much bigger problem in this city where most students are low SES than in schools where most are high SES.

Then say what you mean. Objections to SH or EH or Jefferson are not about the lack of honors classes but rather about disadvantaged kids. [/quote]

Good for you, 2nd PP, for calling bullsht on this. Educated Cap Hill parents have been whining about needing an invitation-only school-within-a-school for at least a decade.

It’s astonishing to watch, as an outsider (but with kids in DCPS.)   You just KNOW that a majority of this Cap Hill parent crowd identifies as liberal Dems working in politics/policy. Yet here they are, advocating for segregated public facilities

While it is true that because of the demographics of DC, it is unlikely that there would be a substantial white population in non-honors classes, SH absolutely would -- and does -- have a substantial population of AA kids in honors classes. Does that not play into your narrative that this is race-driven?[/quote]
