Most of those schools only have diversity as a result of OOB enrollment.

This is just incorrect. Speaking of Janney as an example, the VAST majority of kids are IB -- maybe on the order of 95%. I love it when people throw generalities around as though they are fact simply because they fit into their desired narrative.[/quote]

Janney is 86% inboundary students.

10% of Janney students state their race as "black".  [[Since we are in D.C., not San Francisco, "black" is really the only race that is relevant in this [u]specific[/u] sub-discussion.   Much more so than the 4th grader with one Japanese grandparent, for example.]]

So anyway, the numbers at Janney actually match up rather predictably.

90% of the students are white or Asian.  86% of the students live in the neighborhood.[/quote]

Can somebody tell me WTF the point of this entire discussion is??  Janney is a good school + People who live IB send their kids there in high percentages + Most people IB are white = Janney is bad/wrong somehow?!?!  What is the point here?!?[/quote]
