This seemed to be a hot topic months ago. Does anyone know what the demographics are?

there was a huge thread about this a few weeks ago but no answers. I would guess you will have to wait until after count day.

We have a kid in PK4 at Van Ness. We saw a lot of engaged parents at Back To School night. About half of the kids are in bound, other half are out of bound. My thinking is that the school is not a Title I school.

Different PP here -- lady, what's wrong with you? Engaged means what engaged means. If you believe a particular group is not engaged, well, then work with them so they become. more. engaged.

Why would you assume engaged means white? Back to School night had many parents of different races.

maybe they were looking at cars that people were driving? clothes people were wearing? shoes? bags? conversations about travels? and based on all of this determined that based on the people who attended, it did not appear that 40% of the school qualified for Free and Reduce Lunch?

I think the person who wrote "engaged" was purposely trying to be vague and should just say what she saw.
