[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Actually now Save Shaw might get Bannker do you think they will send Bancroft kids there also, to take some heat out of Deal?

That is how they will get the numbers they need to justify this thing. [/quote]

No. Why would Bancroft feed to Shaw and not McFarland that has Spanish path and same distance?[/quote]

Good idea.  Give them the choice. Just not Deal anymore.  How they got that last time is beyond me. [/quote]

Because diversity and equity. Would there be more than 3% Latino students at Deal or Wilson if Bancroft didn't feed there?

Don't they get many latino via Oyster Adamas feed to Wilson? Latino diversity is not the only driver here. Also,  CHEC seems to be a Latino high school.  Banneker seems to be a black high school. No one is clamoring to get rich white kids in there to do something about the diversity. [/quote]

Adams is roughly 50/50 Latino/non-Latino. But there are only 65-66 students per grade at Adams, so at most 33 would go to Wilson each year.

CHEC is 67% Latino, and 32% AA, but those are combined for the MS and application high school. As for Banneker, it is still majority AA but the Latino population is growing each year (now 20%).

However, having very little ethnic or racial diversity or economic diversity, which is what Wilson is rapidly trending toward, is a legitimate problem for the only high-performing comprehensive high school in the city.
