[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I would never bring this up in real life so I will ask here. What are the make up of kids (racial / public vs private) at your AOPS and RSM campuses? I'm not in DC but we feel very much like outsiders. At RSM it is all Russian speaking parents with a few Indian families, mostly public school and some science magnets. At AOPS it's 100% Indian and Asian mostly public school. I don't even live in an area with signifiant Indian, Russian, and Asian populations so I think they are driving in other towns. TBH I always thought of AOPS as a nerdy white homeschool or science kids kind of franchise. I feel weird at pick up because at RSM all the parents talk to each other in Russian and talk to staff while I sit there like an idiot. Same in AOPS except in Chinese. [/quote]

People outside those ethnic groups take the online classes and/or buy workbooks for study at home. AOPS is popular with homeschoolers, you just won't encounter them in the wild.[/quote]

My kids online class through RSM is 99% Asian, I think there are 2 non-Asian kids in the class. The in-person class was far more diverse then the online class.[/quote] But AoPS is more popular with homeschoolers, who are mostly white.[/quote]
