[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Ethnic Diversity can mean 50% Hispanic and 50% African American - when calculating the ethnic diversity score, no rank order is given on whether the school has any white students. When most white parents talk about ethnic diversity, however, they are talking about an over-representation of white students, e.g., 20% or more. [/quote] So white students are not counted by some at all and over-counted by others?[/quote] No - White students are not necessary for a school to be rated as ethnically diverse by city stats - given that white students are such a small percentage of the school age population. However, white parents are largely unlikely to put their kids in a school where white students are not some magic number percentage of the school population which seems to be somewhere above 20%.
