True. Also it surprises me that some of the MoCo schools are that segregated.

Would be more interesting as percentages, which are easily found.

Please do the excel work and post, Ms. "easily found" as I am sure we would all appreciate it!

This is an old post. I've moved on. You're welcome to do it yourself.

No thanks. If you are too lazy to post useful data we can all move on too.

I'm not lazy. This is a year old thread. Who are you to tell me what to do?

Lol. Who are you to tell PP what to do?

I'm not. I'm saying I won't do it. Jaysus. So many jerks when we all just want the best for our kids.

Yes, you are. Stop lying.

I am the OP and I did not post that.

It doesn't have anything for this year up yet, but hopefully soon.

Any idea whether it usually posts before lottery rankings are due mid march?

Comparing last years to the year before it looks like there are trends at Baneker McKinley and MacArthur (assuming with Hardy kids coming). Though Baneker might be because they took a larger class that year.

My kid is at McKinley and solely from watching kids at drop off, I can tell you that the numbers have grown. My son has one class that's almost all white kids.

My child (who is Caucasian) is at Banneker, and we were having a conversation about this earlier today. Being one of very few white kids is a non- issue.

Glad to hear that

That's what the chart at OSSE says for 2023-2024, but it also says that the number of students with two or more races is 9, and that doesn't sound right. So maybe they mixed up the numbers?

Are there really 21 white kids at Eastern? I know that there are a max of 3 white kids between the freshman and sophomore classes this year.

Nice.

No, as noted above, that program is grant funded, not taxpayer funded. And also it's a lot less than "hundreds of millions" (it's 25 million spread over 6 schools including schools with programs that sound a lot less ridiculous than the Dunbar one).

Though insofar as programs like this paper over real issues at these schools that need actual solutions, it does undermine the benefit of actual DCPS spending. Because Dunbar embracing a program like this just further alienates IB families who want high academic standards and more academic opportunity, pushing them to look elsewhere than their by right school.

Np on this issue, but Dunbar is our inbounds high school. I looked at the website and as a non-African American, I legitimately can't tell if this school is open to my family: https://www.dunbarhsdc.org/

It very much looks like segregation is the aim.

I don't get that from the website (that segregation is the aim). They are (rightfully, IMO) celebrating a time of excellence for that school, when they sent graduates to the Ivy League during segregation. It really was a good school amidst an overtly racist school situation. Hard to talk about that past without including all the information.

I don't see it as them trying to recreate it... They just want current students to be reminded of that excellence.

np: I don't think you looked at the Mission and Vision page. Dunbar absolutely should be proud of its past, but its values explicitly emphasize Black pride, while there is no mention of their vision for a multicultural future.

It's not a reasonable application of taxpayer money for a neighborhood public school in a diverse boundary to identify itself as a jr. HBCU.

The website states: Our mission is to ensure that every student reaches their full potential through rigorous and joyful learning experiences provided in a nurturing environment.

You know that isn't all it says.

Maybe I missed it but where is the section that states its "values explicitly emphasize Black pride?"

https://www.dunbarhsdc.org/about_us/mission_and_vision

"Our Values

Sankofa
Community
Lifelong Learning
Activism
Pride [with black upraised fist icon]
"

All of the icons are black. If they were all white would that make you feel better?

Imagine some school in Nebraska putting “retvrn” (as close to Sankofa as it gets in spirit from the supremacist brigades) and “pride” at the bottom, and you’ll roughly get how everyone not black feels when they see the language. We get the message, whether they carefully counted out 14 words or not.

oh just stop. you were never going to send your kid to Dunbar so myob and focus on your own child.

This. Leave Dunbar alone and let them try to uplift and educate the kids who actually go there. I'm speaking as a non-black resident of this neighborhood with kids. Not everyone has to bend over backwards and erase their own history to make a white lady who has NO intention of sending her kids there more comfortable.

Unfortunately Dunbar is failing miserably at uplifting and educating black students

there's definitely more DCPS high schools that white parents are choosing. It's not nothing that Macarthur, McKinley, Banneker, and the DCI, BASIS etc. charter high schools are growing into "schools of choice" so it's not just "Wilson or bust" as people thought in the past, instead there's a flexibility that can permit some of the policy deformation of the past to cool off. For example, we don't need a Wilson with a catchment area that extends past the Capitol but people used to freak out if that wasn't retained in the past.

Anonymous wrote:To me basically the above proves that DC has like 1/10 of metro DC's population, esp. in re public school student population.

But it has about half the number of students as MoCo. White parents have, in the past, not sent their kids to DC public schools at the high school level. They are starting to. These increasing numbers at the high school level have been driving DC school growth for the last five years or so.

To me basically the above proves that DC has like 1/10 of metro DC's population, esp. in re public school student population.
