[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Ellington is public school? How can it have a raced based admissions policy? That can't be legal.[/quote] It does not have a race based admission policy. What a founding document said in 1974 -- when DC's demographics were very different -- is not relevant to how the school is run now. It is an application DCPS high school - like Banneker, SWW, McKinley. It happens to be majority black like almost every school in DC. It has an unique governance structure and a Board - which tends to bring out the vitriol on this board (use the archives) Admissions process includes my school dc application, a test, a family interview and a portfolio / audition. Students can audition in 2 areas as part of the application process but are required to major in just one.[/quote]
