I always wonder how they pick the schools to be featured in these documentaries. Last nights CH. 13 POV special on principals was a case in point..not that inspirational. George Jackson Academy in NYC is the school to look out for. All of their boys come from low-income families, and 100% go on to full or partial scholarships to the most highly selective high schools in the country.
