[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]But if you choose Stuart Hobson for MS inboundary what are you going to do for HS if you can't afford private school and your kid fails to test into SWW in 8th grade (a common enough outcome). If your kid is white (generally no whites at Banneker) and not interested in the performing arts (for Duke Ellington), then what? There really aren't any UMC families at Eastern HS, a failing school by every measure. BASIS sounds like torture in HS for all but a very small and super nerdy subset that doesn't mind the weak facilities (no library, real gym, stage/auditorium, outdoor space etc) and lack of emphasis on applied/hands-on learning. The fact that they get a new head almost every school year does nothing to inspire confidence in this parent.[/quote] Go to Banneker anyway, or McKinley Tech. If I had a 5th grader right now I would be fine with McKinley Tech. [/quote]
