[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]My friend pulled her AA child from the school. In Pre-K3, her kid was one of 3 AA kids in the class. I got the impression that the younger grades were not reflective of the makeup of the city's demographics.[/quote]

A little worried this will happen at ITS for us. Though I was told at a recent tour pk4, k+ (most of the classes) are about 50% white and 50%kids of color (majority AA). The teachering staff seems to reflect similarly.  Really hope that our kid isn't in the minority or 1of a very few AA kids in K next year. [/quote]

I don't see why it would happen at ITS.  ITS is highly desirable for most everyone, except those who really love their IB or who can't stomach the commute.  The neighborhoods around Ward 5 are changing, but not so significantly that you would have mostly white kids there.  the area around CMI has seen a lot of demographic changes, too, but also the school doesn't have the stats to make it as broadly desirable.  And look, I'm not saying white folks at CMI go there for the other white folks, but I think diverse middle class families are looking closer at academics, and white families are looking more at a whole-child vibe and lush playground.
