'American Promise' Probes Race Issue In NYC Private School

In the early grades, Both Idris and Seun did well and enjoyed school. "I love being at Dalton because it's my favorite school now, and it's always my best school, and I love it there," he said then. Sean is very bright, but Dalton's academic demands and his learning style were not a good match, says Libby Hixson, then-head of the middle school. Seun transfers to Benjamin Banneker Academy, a mostly-black public school devoted to demanding academics and cultural affirmation.
