lol - diversity at Cabin John?

MCPS cares about FARMs, ESOL, sped and minority status.  In many cases, there is overlap (quite a bit) with the aforementioned categories.

Cabin John MS
ESOL - under 5%
FARMs - 7.2%
SPED - 14%

white - 42.8%
Asian - 31.6%
a sprinkling of Hispanics, blacks and mixed races

[b]Unless Asians and whites are ESOL, FARMs or SPED, they don't count as diverse. [/b]  This is a perfect example of a school that MCPS would love to redistrict.   too many whites/Asians, too many wealthy families

It is what it is. I get it.

But the definition of diversity has its own meaning in the school system. [/quote]

That's not true. White students or Asian-American students contribute to diversity in schools that have few white or Asian-American students. Conversely, black students or Hispanic students contribute to diversity in schools that have few black or Hispanic students. Because notwithstanding DCUM, diversity means diversity, not "poor/black/brown kids."[/quote]

again, lol

Again, [b]diversity is defined differently in the school systems.[/b]

Check out ESSA for clarification. [/quote]

Yup. Like this:

School Demographic Profile includes the racial/ethnic composition of a
school’s student population, the percentage of students participating in the
Free and Reduced-price Meals System (FARMS) and English for Speakers
of Other Languages (ESOL) programs, and school mobility rates.
