So about 25% of the white kids at blair are magnet which makes up about almost 10% of that 22%. 36% is quite a bit considering how poor one has to be to count as poor but the real rate is well north of 50% considering kids who have ever accepted FARMS and that doesn't factor in copious amounts of Latino Kids with incomplete data spurred on by their lack of trust in the system due to their questionable immigration status of them or their parents. I would bet the real world poor levels at Blair is 60-70%

Yes i consider a 10% dropout rate(1/10), published 50% poverty levels (1/2) and flirting with single digit populations of IB kids that look like my kid (13%) to be deal breakers.  Not to mention the traffic and location in a slipping part of the city, I have no idea why people get excited about Blair, one must surmise that the rest of the DCC is really bad. [/quote]

In other words: you don't want your white kid at Blair because there are lots of kids at Blair who aren't white and are poor, and you also don't like that other people's opinions of Blair may be different from yours. Oh well, less competition for the kids who do want to go to Blair. Win-win. Yay![/quote]

Diversity is code for lower standards? Got it! Who is looking for less competition now?[/quote]
