[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]"weaker" school: (one with economic or cultural diversity)... seriously?[/quote] That's how a lot of obsessive parents think on here unfortunately. Happily, in Arlington there are diverse quality options as well.[/quote] You have a distorted sense of diversity if you think 50%+ low income=diversity...the US let alone Arlington is not 50% low income, so that is not a representative school...to me a diverse school would be one that is demographically representative of my city, state, country etc. The weakest schools in N Arlington in terms of test scores (and by most accounts general learning environment) also happen to be ones that are majority low-income or close to it....and FWIW I'm not white- the issue is not ethnicity but socioeconomic dynamics....[/quote]
