[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Some are more or as diverse as the parochials - Glebe, Science Focus, Key, Arlington Traditional are the ones that stand out in that respect.   These schools are all north of Rte. 50 but if you are talking about the "coveted" N. Arlington schools that people move to Arlington for (see the current thread on ''best elementary schools in Arlington'' then no, those schools are less diverse.[/quote]

And that's OK, by the way. It isn't clear to me why anyone keeps asserting diversity is some educational virtue as if that's a given. That's how we end up with the implication that if someone focuses on other metrics -- say, achievement -- they're somehow racist. It's silly. As if anyone in the "coveted" North Arlington schools wouldn't be equally comfortable with their children in ASFS or ATS (many probably applied and didn't win the lottery, natch).

The Supreme Court has expressly ruled that educational diversity is a compelling interest.  [/quote]

Esteemed educators, those. It also ruled corporations are a person, so.[/quote]
