[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote]A large number of Wilson’s Hispanics come from Adams. Sending them to Roosevelt would reduce Wilson’s racial and ethnic diversity.[/quote]

So what?

Can you articulate why Wilson requires ### percentage of Hispanic students?   How many Arabic-speaking students attend Wilson?  Cantonese?    Russian?  What is the correct number of these groups, in your worldview?

I really don't understand why we as a city get fixated on the "Diversity Pie Chart Must Equal _____" question.   Forty years ago, Wilson probably had 3% Hispanic students.  Forty years from now, Wilson will probably have more Asian students than "white" or Hispanic students, if demographic trends continue.

Things change.  Relax.  Enjoy the ride and embrace new opportunities, such as feeding to a new high school.

You’re ill-informed and late to this party.  Adams feeds to Wilson AND Roosevelt already (as a programmatic immersion feeder).  Pretty much zero Adams grads choose to continue their education at Roosevelt. Happy now?  If not, too bad.
