Looking at Charter schools- are white students a minority at all the schools?

Now this is Racist. Unfortunately, my timing was off. I'm AA and I didn't get the 4 children or the 2.5. Only had 1. I need to get my DNA checked.

Seriously? All AA families have 4 children?

NP here. Agree with realist unfortunately. Your one kid does not change the overall picture.

In DC, yes, white students are a minority at all the schools. That's because DC is still predominately black. Having grown up here, I've never seen a high number of low-income whites in this city. It leads me to believe that there are probably more affluent whites who can afford to send their kids to private than there are affluent blacks.

As a result, you get the inverse in the charter school realm: Lots of blacks, very few whites. That'll change as gentrification has its way.

Unless OP lives in upper NW, or upper caucasia/JKLM/West of the Park or whatever you want to call it, chances are her local DCPS is way less white than whatever charter they might luck into. Something tells me they won't be applying to the schools where their DC will be "the only." And to be fair, neither did we.

We are "an only" at our school, and so far it's been a great experience. I'll happily take the spot that the quietly bigoted won't!

How would you know if you we're in the lower third? Do you know of all of the students incomes? Sounds really presumptuous... and racist ON YOUR PART!

Duh. It was an example to show that skin color is an imperfect measure of.socio economic status. There are other measured out there that are actually accurate and not morally reprehensible. Go ahead and use the metric of race to judge people's socio economic status. It may work for you, but it is still unquestionably rascist.

Believe it or not, I got to know almost all the families and of course didn't know their incomes, but knew jobs, habits, vacations, houses, cars and type of birthday parties. You can make a pretty good guess ( that isn't based on skin color, so isn't rascist)

And you are still rascist. If you called my kid a snowflake in my presence you would regret it.

What we would all regret is ever being in your presence! Hope to hell you're not at my kids' school. But now we know bullying is so pervasive- listen to this type of parent. Not only racist and presumptuous, but also a (pathetic) bully. FWIW- still not scared! Just ever more secure in pressing forward with the "realist vs. racist"... Lastly, you're not fooling anyone- you pretend "poor white only". You've got angry black woman down a little too well! LOL!!!!

You sound like 2 year olds....no, that's an insult to 2 year olds....your original questions? is there a quota/ratio of white: nonwhite schools NEED to be meeting.....I don't get your question.

At my charter, there's a large number of kids who are mixed-race and parents who are from different backgrounds. How do folks classify them?
