[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Here are the totals for last year the least diverse schools in 22207 for Asian, Black and Hispanic, but excluding Multiple:

Discovery: 96
Jamestown: 61
Nottingham: 79
Taylor: 87
Tuckahoe: 67

We are at one of those schools (one of the less-diverse ones even within that group), and I personally know more well more than six families who do not present as white. The least diverse, Jamestown, is 81% white, so nearly a fifth of the school identifies as something other than just white. [/quote]

Remember APS filled I believe Jamestown, Discovery and possibly Nottingham by moving country wide VPI preschool programs there. So if those numbers include preschool those schools look more diverse than they are, so the upper grades are whiter than the stats.[/quote]

No, they didn't. Nottingham has no preschool, and Jamestown and Discovery have Montessori, not VPI. Further, since Montessori is split between low-income and non for the program as a whole but not per school and seats are assigned based on geography, the Montessori students at Jamestown and Discovery as disproportionately *not* low-income.

Further, even if they did, the civil rights stats cited above are for K-5 only and exclude preschoolers, so even if there were VPI students there, they would not be included in the civil rights data. Montessori kindergartners are, but not preschoolers[/quote]
