I have to chime in here.  How can this be anything other than baloney?  This is Washington Latin's 2nd - 2nd folks! - graduating class and they have kids accepted to Bowdoin, Brown and Cornell along with someone with a full free ride to GW.  Cleary these prestigious schools don't think the program lacks rigor.  But in addition to rigor I want the nurturing environment that previous posters have mentioned and Latin has it in spades.  I'm a sappy person, I admit, but the communication I receive from the school frequently brings tears to my eyes b/c it is so thoughtful and caring.  As far as I can tell, decisions by school leaders are made with great integrity and it is that integrity they are hoping their students learn.  This is more importiant to me than offering my DC math classes 5 levels above grade.  [/quote]

Wish it were baloney.  Plenty of upper-middle-class parents won't go with a majority AA HS regardless.  There are social/cultural reasons for this, with high-SES AA parents leading the silent charge.  To you, great academics are all that matters, to others, a majority AA high school doesn't appeal, period.
