[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Bump. Are the new incoming grades getting any [b]better[/b]?[/quote] Interesting choice of words [/quote] Uh… SWS isn’t located in a 75% black neighborhood. [/quote] No, but it’s an “all city” school (no in-bound preference) and is centrally located on the east side of DC, which is majority black. While the surrounding neighborhood isn’t majority black, it also has other good school options to serve neighborhood families. Whereas many families in Wards 5, 7, and 8 are looking for alternatives to failing IB schools. Just in comparison, more black families choose to lottery for CHMS or out of bounds for JO Wilson (both in Ward 6) than seem to choose SWS. It does feel anomalous that SWS is available to all DC families but seems to have a self-selecting population that skews white.[/quote]
