[quote=Anonymous]The lack of diversity is not connected to AP classes, and I'd offer that's it's more about what the school has prioritized in its admissions decisions. In the early 2000s, CPGS decided to court the many affluent parents whose children were not offered spots at the more coveted private schools. This turned out to be a very wise financial decision. The school became very popular with a subset of wealthy (and mostly white) families, and the influx of money helped CPGS expand and improve on what could best be described as a rabbit warren carved out of adjoining brownstones (and with a pool, somehow). Its academic reputation did not improve much, and it stands out more for its wealthy parent body than it does for its academic offerings. [/quote]
