Race matters...or does it?

2 Black sisters i know who are in their school's Top Twenty have 4.2's, take all honors classes, BUT only scored a 15 on their ACT assesment, and a 880/890 on their SAT. I have a 3.5, take all honors classes, and scored a 29 on ACT and a 1210 on SAT. We both grew up in the inner-cty.The difference between us? I attend a predominantly White school out of our district, while they attend our district's all-Black school. i used to hate it, cuz half my friends went to the Black school, but now that i'm a senior......i'm GLAD i attended this school. now b4 you jump down my throat, let me set up my case. As much as I support HBCU's and intend on going to one(FAMU, NCA&T or Hampton), i think when it comes to your college-prep years(high school), attending a White school gives you an advantage. Many(not all, but many) inner-cty schools are sent teachers who REALLY don't want to be there, and who already have low expectations of their Black students. Therefore, they don't push a challenging enough curriculum for their students to score high on standardized tests. There is also less money pumping through inner-city schools, because money is sent to schools based on attendance, and we all know how many people be skippin' class. I'm not saying these schools perform poorly because they are Black, but i am saying that socioeconomics play a huge role in education, and most Black schools are located in unstable economic areas. my question to you: To what degree do you believe the racial composition and location of a high school affects how well its students will perform on standardized tests? Would you send YOUR kids to a White school if the one in your district was substandard?
