[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]04:13— Would you be willing to run Walls or J-R as a control group? Basis isn’t the only school in DC that has become less Black over the past decade. [/quote] I don't have the specific JR data, but the black percentage at JR fell primarily because of a huge increase of in-bound kids deciding to attend (which took away OOB slots). It started in earnest when Michelle Rhee took over as superintendent in 2009. Here is a quote from a Beacon article in February: Teachers who have worked at Jackson-Reed for a long time have noted the demographic shift even over the past decade. Health teacher Rebecca Bradshaw-Smith pointed out that there was “a huge shift between 65 or 70% African-American in 2010, when [she] got here,” to now. Currently Jackson-Reed is one of DC’s most diverse schools, with our student body being 28% Black, 26% Hispanic, 36% white, 5% Asian, and 5% mixed race. [/quote]
