The building is very, very old and I find it depressing. It is also not a terribly diverse school. I don't know if I should give it a chance or not. What would you do? Have you heard anything about this school?

Its not diverse? 52 percent black and 35 percent Hispanic isn't diverse? You mean not a lot of white kids? Nothing wrong with that btw, I just find it interesting that the de facto vision of diversity starts with majority white and a smattering of everything else. The parental reviews expressed similar concerns and they all seem more then happy. Also think of it like this they are a 7 with good scores without a PTA, imagine if your child went there and you as a mom started one? The school could easily be a 9, aren't you guys always claiming that the issue in P.G. isn't the school but the parents? Well put your money where your mouth is and get involved. Its always those "other parents" need to be more active...no its 'you'

The town is named after the founder, Thomas Seabrook, who built the first homes in the area and then the town developed around his homestead.

Is that enough sense for you?

Thank you for explaining. Makes sense now.
