[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Out of all those HS, MV high would have the most economic diversity.

In order of most diversity:

1. MV
2. Cupertino
3. PA
4. LA

But, as a PP stated, [b]that area has almost no diversity, both in race and SES. [/b] I used to live there, still have friends/co-workers there.

You could go a bit further south to Campbell or Union HS (I think it's called).[/quote]

The bolded is simply not true and erases the lived experience of many non-white residents or residents who aren't high SES. It is possible DCUM posters like the above PP may not have made any effort to meet or interact with non-white or lower SES residents, but that does not mean they aren't there.

In any event, you can tease out your questions by looking at enrollment statistics. MVHS, for instance, has over 50% of the students identify as a minority. In the Mountain View middle schools, 30-40% of the students qualify for free and reduced lunch. In Los Altos the free and reduced lunch percentage is likely much lower. You can probably find the stats for other districts if you would like.[/quote]
