[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]My takeaway from this list is that the only reason the DCUM crowd likes Latin is because it has a lot of white kids. Not because it’s actually a better school. [/quote] I think there is a lot of truth there. My "cohort" at my title 1 DCPS is all gaga about Latin and sort of just assume that it's a good school, because all the other white families also try to get in. I think there might be some very good branding (because people think about Boston Latin, which is a truly impressive school.) so many middle schools -- like the ones ranked higher -- simply have better academics, but the reputational power and demographics sway people.[/quote]
