[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Actually - it could be more diverse - it is about 64% BL, [b]15%HI[/b], 12%MU, [b]8%WH[/b]
55% FARMS

Algebra completion rate by grade 8 is 36%

So basically - [b]hardly any white or hispanic kids[/b] - negligible asian.
Predominantly low income
 But the big issue is:
Predominantly low achievement

My daughters peers don't care about school and they aren't interested in any enrichment programs. She was so sad when her old friends invited her to one of their after school soccer practices at their school. I felt like we belonged there. I am hoping this adjustment builds character or does something positive for her. I am also hoping she doesn't lose interest in her education. One of the programs this school does offer is a truancy court program. Can anyone out there say that their school offers this???

Interesting. When posters talk about bethesda and potpmac schools with 15% Hispanic kids and and 8% black kids, but the majority are white, people seem to think that is a decent amount of diversity. Hmm.[/quote]

Here comes that stupid canard again...you realize that in the country we live in, 72% are white, only 12% are black, correct?

So a school where kids are 72% white, 12% black is perfectly diverse and proportionate.

Whereas a school where kids are 72% black, 12% white is...not.[/quote]

So, Mike Pence, how is the post-truth lifestyle going for you?

Montgomery County is NOT 72 percent white.  It's 45 percent white, assuming you are talking about non-Hispanic whites.  http://www.census.gov/quickfacts/table/PST045215/24031[/quote]
