[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]This used to be our IB school before we moved. We asked our next door neighbor about it because she was, at the time, a teacher in the DCPS system. She just shook her head and said, "Uh uh". She also refused to send her own daughter there. And, just in case anyone assumes she's some snotty white lady -- no. She's AA. And while I did not tour the school, the area it's in is pretty bad. On the other hand, another friend, also AA, says that she knows many Miner parents who love it, that there's an active parents' association, and that the school is rapidly improving. Yes, it's like 95% black or something, but so what? We live in a black city. If you live in DC and you're uncomfortable being a white minority, I don't really know what to tell you. In the end we decided to move and our kid got into a charter near our new house, so it became a moot issue for us. [/quote] When did you move?[/quote]
