[quote=Anonymous]NP here. Remember that the difference btw K and grade 8 is HUGE. Administrations can change, school populations can change, certainly a given class can be completely different from what you are seeing now. I say this as a parent of a DS at a private in grade 9. When he was in K the class was almost 100% Caucasian. 1 AA, no "Asians" (and by that I mean Chinese, Japanese, Korean, and also no Indian). No Native Americans, either. By 8th grade there were at least 4 AA students, 2 Chinese, 3 Korean, there had been one student from the Phillappines, 1 or 2 Japanese, a student from India... and others I can't recall. The point is that the class makeup changes. VA/DC/MD is a diverse an constantly changing area, so if you are looking for diversity chances are you will find it. I think that unless you are looking for a religious school (and even many of the parochial schools are fairly diverse) you will find diversity in the upper years. [/quote]
