[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]So basically, the two schools that prove the point of the research are Banneker and CMI. If you can't explain those, you must agree that white people are causing school segregation due to racism.

Where is a good analysis of these two schools, then? I do think that being in an under 5% minority at any school is going to turn a parent off, for better or worse. That rules out Banneker. Beyond that, CMI has been discussed on here ad nauseum, and I think that it has to do with education model and perhaps its facilities.

The real trend of parents of means (of all races) away from DCPS and toward a few select charters (outside UNW) is more interesting to analyze and would require a much better research plan. [/quote]

The Waltons won’t fund research studying that question.

Because their goal is to help charters and harm DCPS (so rich people can profit.)

This is how Brookings taking money from anti-public-school people is distorting.

The Waltons will fund a study that divides DCPS based on race. They won’t fund studies that are likely to reflect poorly on charters.

Former CMI parent - I agree so much.  None of the white parents who went there would admit it (so liberal), but many had good (if not better) IB schools, but because of the % of white kids, chose CMI.
