[quote=Anonymous]The Bay Area is incredibly economically segregated. I grew up in a UMC suburb of a midwestern city known for "white-flight", and the neighborhood-to-neighborhood inequality here is still shocking.

If you want economic diversity but still worry about your kids' prospects, pick a school district that isn't all that well-ranked but still has some well-ranked (maybe not top-ranked) schools. Then ask a ton of questions of the SD and the people you know in your community. We live in an EB school district that I would not have ever considered for public (we figured the savings on house price would offset private), but we are probably going to end up going private. Our zoned public actually is ranked well (not top), and the benefit of diversity alongside the saved income from house price to enable supplementary activities is worth it to us.

This is not ideal; it screams of privilege. But there is no morally comfortable scenario in a region with income inequality as severe as the Bay Area.[/quote]
