OP: You would not be the first family to make that choice, although it isn't a common one.  More common among families of color, since Wakefield is a more inclusive place.

What exactly does that mean?  Wakefield is a high-poverty, majority black/hispanic school where only about 10% of the students are white.  W-L is more balanced.

I'm trying to understand what open arms would be extended to a new student at Wakefield that would not be extended at W-L.  If someone just wants a school that's more than 15% black, maybe he or she should be specific, rather than claim Wakefield is more "inclusive."  [/quote]

All three high schools are inclusive to some degree, but to say that Wakefield is more inclusive is flat out wrong. Yorktown has won awards for its character building workshops. W-L has won awards for its Best Buddies program. Wakefield is unique for its multicultural spirit week before homecoming. One could go on and on. And all three high schools have multicultural events throughout the year.[/quote]
