[quote=Anonymous]^OK, so what's the point of having "neighborhood" schools at all if they aren't serving neighborhoods? Why not just alter the status quo to reflect the reality of more than 80% of the kids coming in OOB as long as Cobbs stays and call LT something other than a neighborhood school, erm, a DCPS school with a city-wide draw, or a charter. As the neighborhood population grows increasingly high-SES/white, LT grows LESS high-SES/white. You can watch this happening by checking new DCPS-furnished stats on the LT profile page every August. LT got up to 15% white in 2011, as of June it was down to around 9%. If the upper grades indeed rock, as you claim, why aren't the great majority of IB families remotely convinced? LT gentrifiers simply want a school as open to change as Maury, a district in which demographics are very similar, not the sun, the moon and the stars. [/quote]
