One could argue that high achieving, higher income kids are left behind by the traditional school system in DCPS.  Unless you can buy a million dollar house in upper NW or Cap Hill for Brent, then your kid is screwed.  [/quote]

Right.  Not a single school other than Brent or Janney that provides an education IN THE ENTIRE CITY![/quote]

A good education with like minded high achieving students? Limited. When Too many schools in DC have grades where less than 10% are meeting basic readiness standards. There is a reason high income parents flee to places like basis. [/quote]

There are other schools in the city other than upper NW and Cap Hill where this can be found (in fact the one school that outperforms all of them is not listed) but there are too many people that just look for a white majority as their "proxy"[/quote]
