Which elementary school has the most diversity?

[Anonymous]

I am moving to Maryland soon and I’d like to know which schools have the most diversity. Also, I’m looking for something that has high test scores as well.

You can't have it both ways. Diverse = lower test scores, less diverse = higher test scores. More so as your kid moves up to MS and HS.

I smell a cultural warrior stirring trouble.

All but a handful are quite diverse. Test scores largely track SES.

I’m not from this area. I went to a diverse school where I’m from and there were high test scores. Most people went to Ivy League schools. So, I’m hoping there is something similar here.

Latino, Black, and Asian students that are doing well academically. I don’t want to put my kid in a school where they can’t get to know different kinds of people.

Based on your definition, would a school with 1% Latino, 1% Black, and 1% Asian and all these 3% students are doing well academically is consider "diverse"?

If that is not what you want, please define "diverse"

Diverse can be:
Is a school with 15% white considered "diverse"?
Is a school with 40% white and 60% black considered "diverse"?
Is a school with 15% white, 75% Latino and 20% others considered "diverse"?
Is a school with 15% white, 45% Asian, and 40% others considered "diverse"?
Is a school with 75% FARMS considered "diverse"?
Is a school with 50% FARMS considered "diverse"?

A truly diverse school would have no one group comprising more than a third or so of its population.
