[quote=Anonymous]Why can't we have a single well-equipped, "normal" high school, or school-within-a-school program with sky high standards, virtually guaranteeing that the student population would be majority white in the short and medium-term. BASIS will never fit the bill - it doesn't aspire to serve many kids. OK, great, the odd Latin kid now breaks into an Ivy League school. Congratulations all around. This doesn't change the fact that more kids are admitted to any one elite college, be it MIT or Harvard or Stanford, from TJ or a Blair test-in magnet program every year than ALL DCPS AND DCPC. All we're asking for is one high school program on a par with the best in the burbs. I like how hard Latin and BASIS try, but they're never going to offer TJ academics because they don't have the inputs - money, kids, teachers, facilities, test-in option, or ES and MS GT programs to build on.
