[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]How did you find your private? Based on the thread, it seems like there's no good public school option, for black children with parents who value education. It seems like the achievement gap is like amber. Sticky. It is so depressing to me as someone who lives in McLean and is spending a boatload in taxes to possibly face the idea that I need to send my kids to private school so they can be in an environment where their success is fostered and encouraged. Depressing.[/quote] The SAT scores for black students at Langley and McLean last year were well above the national average, but lower than the scores for white and Asian students. I guess you can look at this as a glass half full or half empty, but I think it's unfair to suggest their success wouldn't be fostered and encouraged at those schools. I know for sure that Black graduates of those schools have gone to some fine colleges and universities. [/quote]
