[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]In pre-K the classes have 16 kids and 2 teachers. The kids are about 1/3 black, 1/3 white, and 1/3 Hispanic, and probably about half higher SES and half lower SES/recent immigrants. It's a very welcoming environment. [/quote]

This is true for Pk, but OP has a rising third grader.  Thr school is much less diverse in upper grades, in terms of race and SES status.[/quote]

Thanks - this is OP. How is it different? Thank you. [/quote]

It definitely is less white and less wealthy in the upper grades. We're in lower grades but know folks in 3rd through 5th who have had great experiences! They've really upped their offerings and even have the city's only (Junior) STEM Honors Society.

They will be in a swing space across the street for the next two years but the trailers should be very workable and they'll still have all the amenities they have now.

It is a very proudly Black school with lots of events during BHM and throughout the year, but also very welcoming of all races and ethnicities. Most teachers, the principal, and AP are all Black and the school year usually ends with an international food festival where families bring in food from their heritage.[/quote]
