[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]That video is terrible, and most SSSAS parents are embarrassed of it. I'm shocked it is being pushed forward as representative of our wonderful school.[/quote]

If that's the stance of "most SSSAS parents," then to me THAT'S what's a bad sign about the school community - talk about taking oneself way too seriously. I thought it was cute and a nice reminder that these are places to education 5-18 year olds, which shouldn't (just) be solemn and scholarly places.[/quote]

+1. Except the school is very, very white. Sure they had a few token black kids featured, but the overwhelming number of all white kids in the group shots was certainly noticeable. Yes, i know it’s a Catholic school, still appeared more white than others (except maybe Gonzaga). Still, very cute video. [/quote]

It isn’t Catholic. SSSAS is Episcopal.[/quote]

Thanks. The point remains, it’s very white. Alarmingly so.[/quote]
That’s just the demographic makeup of the school.  [/quote]

SSSAS is 28% people of color. Not horrible. But, I agree, very white compared to other Episcopal schools like NCS/STA. [/quote]
But the PP is talking about Black kids and they about the same percentage.  The only significant difference is that the Cathedral’s have more Asian kids.[/quote]

You don’t know what you’re talking about. [/quote]
Maybe not, I was comparing the numbers on niche.com.  It’s possible their data is inaccurate.[/quote]
