[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]My figures are not way off there are not enough whites in the system to make a difference in the school population to have such a test-in necessity.  Do you own research on any DCPS school web-site the percentage of whites is there for everyone to see.  Don't get excited just because you see 33% white at one school doesn't mean that all 33% will matriculate to the neighborhood walkable school.  Also if you spread out the 33% over the school population like DCPS that's comes out to a mere 3%.  Such the case a test-in middle school of 700 could have about 3-whites and we all know how whites don't like the fish-bowl effect of being the "white and lonely" in their school settings.[/quote]

Your figures on whites in DCPS are way off.  The system is more than 9% white this SY, 16% if you include charters.  DCPS could easily support a majority white test-in MS program if it wished. [/quote]

You are not counting all the kids in privates who would choose public if there was a rigorous test in option.[/quote]
