Englewood still split on schools
The article "Englewood Still Split on Schools" describes how a turbulent racial history in Englewood affects the high schools in the town. Despite Dwight Morrow and the Academies at Englewood having the same campus, the article claims they are treated as separate schools. There was frustration from some due to their view that the students at the Academies were treated better. Race becomes a part of the discussion as Dwight Morrow is majorly attended by black and Latinx youth while the Academies are attended by white and Asian-American students. The article also discusses efforts to integrate the schools and whether the efforts made to combine the schools would truly desegregate the students. -
