[quote=Anonymous]When we got the tour recently I think I saw three AA Students and maybe one Asian during a full hour visiting classrooms and common areas at the HS. IS GDS more diverse in lower grades, or is what they consider a "person of color" anyone with a non-WASP grandparent? I was hoping to see their professed value of social justice demonstrated by their student population, but it just wasn't there. Made me uncomfortable to imagine my DS, who is accustomed to majority minority environments, to have an English class with ALL white classmates, especially reading "Beloved"! I know, I know, if I want an environment which reflects social justice and diversity, don't choose private school. I guess I was just hoping for better. Do they know how hypocritical it makes them appear?[/quote]
