[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]You will find ASFS is one of the most diverse elementary schools in Arlington.  It has sizable  populations black and asian populations (but very few hispanic b/c of the obvious draw of key school which shares its boundary).

Diversity is important, b/c it defines the comfort level and interaction that kids will grow up with. If they only see one race or ethnicity, [b][u]they will tend to self segregate later in life.[/u][/b]

And since OP is a minority, this is even greater issue to not feel out of place.

Ashlawn, Long Branch, and Henry might offer similar diversity, but you should consider which middle school you want the school to feed into.  We've heard great things about Ashlawn and Long Branch personally.[/quote]

Yeah that is weird but prob a factor of economics of which families can support a traveling ball player. Sure there is economic diversity and unfortunately it may track racial ethnic diversity. [/quote]
