Huh? Please provide some dates here! That might prove challenging, since such a thing has never happened.

Whites have pretty much abandoned CPS. Just in case you were wondering.

Perhaps on the SS where the OP is looking but on the northside the magnet PS's are booming. Just look at the number of lottery participants. I am one of the "white" (well, half white anyway) parents that would kill to have my child get ino LaSalle, Newberry, Franklin or even Oscar Meyer. All public schools

I think the CPS abandoned whites and everyone else in this city decades ago for the green they can stuff in their own wallets.

Can you fill me in on what happened? I graduated in 2002 so this is definitely something I'm interested in. My parents still live in the EP and never said anything/heard anything about it.

Well, you should be able to provide some links to news stories from just a month ago. A race riot would definitely be a newsworthy event.

While you're telling us about the race riot in EP, explain why every site I look up says that Ag is a Chicago public magnet school for kids talented in math and sciences. It's quality is a valid subject of debate, I guess, but it looks nice and I have heard lots of people in Mt. Greenwood and Beverly praying that their kids get in.

You know, there's really not much room for debate here. CPS' own website lists Ag as a magnet school. They should know.

Actually the subject of quality is a valid subject, remeber just because it's called a magnet school dosen't nessarly mean it's a better school.
