[quote=Anonymous]Well, for different reasons we did decide to "directly invest" in my kid by sending him to private, rather than routing that investment through a house, which then bought a specific school pyramid. We were worried more about the kind of atmosphere and discipline in our local school (high % latino, AA, and poor, with poor test outcomes across categories) than with performance - our local school suspends elementary school kids and has a sort of law and order, toe the line atmosphere we didn't want for our kid. So he's at private. And from what I can see, there is no racial disparity in performance in my kid's private school. But you'd never know for sure if there was, would you? Its not like privates publish test scores by race and income. Good luck, OP![/quote]
