[quote=Anonymous]I wouldn't think about racial diversity as much as I would the percentage of students living in poverty (where I grew up students living in poverty in my high school were white - and I mean extreme poverty - but they were a minority). Poverty greatly impacts a myriad of factors that can lead to poor school performance. With that comes teachers struggling with classroom management and teaching, as many students are reading on a 4th to 5th grade level in high school. If your child is not, then s/he is often not challenged and can fall behind his or her peers nationally. These are complex social issues that know no color, so the racial identity of the kids and teachers becomes null. [/quote]
