[quote=Anonymous]Woodson isn't DCPS "STEM" school. DCPS has slapped the title "STEM" on a lot of different schools... McKinley Tech is probably more in line with a true STEM model. As for numbers not supporting a TJ or Blair (the magnet program in Blair) that's probably true because both school systems are some of the largest in the country. And it may skew largely white simply because in DC, white is almost always middle to high SES; its very rarely low SES. And that makes a HUGE difference. Too many studies have been done to verify that point. If mommy and daddy can hire you a private tutor then of course you will do better than the kids whose parents are working two or three jobs to make ends meet and who lack the skill set to support successful homework completion.
