[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]OP, I have a feeling of you posted the exact same about your son, instead of your black son, you would have fewer people pushing him to public school.  Just a thought.  You think he deserves the best and a 9 in all categories on the ISEE is nearly impossible for anyone, so he should go to the top tier private he likes the best.

BTW my daughter, also high IQ got 7,8,9,9 on the ISEE.  All the "top" scores were like hers; your son's seem to be better if he got all 9s.  And not a chance in the world I would send her to public school.  We gave them an in-depth look and a hard pass.  [/quote]
I think this reflects the truth that DMV privates CAN be particularly tough for black students, ESPECIALLY black boys who aren’t talented in sports.[/quote]
Most of the schools mentioned on DCUM aren’t bad as long as there are other black kids at the school and the teachers aren’t discriminating against them.  I’d avoid the ones with very low percentages and where black students have lots of complaints about their experiences.[/quote]
