[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]+1.  I hear you, but I think you're erring on the side of optimism about race on the Hill. Look at Brent. Their AA rate is close to falling into the single digits, not 20 years after it was almost entirely AA.

There must be some white parents who are privately thrilled.[/quote]

Hasn’t the composition of families living IB for Brent with school-aged children that are AA also fallen into the single-digits over the past 20 years? [/quote]

Yeah, now that Brent is mostly IB, it's not really surprising that it's mostly white b/c the catchment zone is mostly white. Brent can't even report the scores of poor kids anymore because the school is just that rich. To put that in context, there are still JKLM, etc NW schools that can report the scores of poor kids.

L-T will likely follow Brent's footsteps... eventually perhaps even more so than Maury, because while the Maury district still includes some relatively inexpensive housing, the L-T district really does not. (There's one public housing complex IB for L-T, but it's for seniors, so I doubt it contributes many/any kids to L-T.)[/quote]

To be fair to Brent, aren't the JKLM schools bigger, especially in testing grades, and therefore more likely to hit the N for reporting subgroups? (I don't know the answer to this but got the impression the JKLM schools are gi-normous through 5th grade due to Wilson feeder, while Brent drops off in upper/testing grades like the rest of EOTP.)[/quote]
