[quote=Anonymous]It seems as though pyramids like Langley and McLean are constantly touted as the best of what Northern Virginia schools have to offer, but both districts serve a pretty homogenous population of wealthy white (and perhaps Asian) families. Assuming you want the typical, high-quality instruction/good facilities/variety of options for advanced coursework, etc. that every parent seeks, but also place significant value on your child's exposure to classmates from a wide variety of racial/ethnic and socioeconomic backgrounds, which NoVA HS pyramid would you choose? Also--what do you believe are the best measures of school quality when variables like test scores (which seem to primarily reflect socioeconomic factors) are removed from the mix? [/quote]
