[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Lol at people calling Gaithersburg HS diverse. Gaithersburg is the furthest thing from diverse. It is 82% Black and Hispanic and has a high FARMS rate. It's no more diverse than Walt Whitman HS is--in other words, it is one of MCPS' most segregated high schools.

I'm sure GHS has a lot of strengths, but diversity is not one of them.[/quote]

My child is at Seneca Valley HS, with a 2023-24 student population that was 37.4% Black or African-American, 34.7% Hispanic, 12.3% white, and 10.6% Asian-American, with 66.6% ever FARMS, and the student population is diverse. For comparison, the Gaithersburg HS student population was 62.0% Hispanic, 20.3% Black or African-American, 8.8% white, and 6.0% Asian-American, with 76.6% ever FARMS. It would be a mistake to lump everyone who is in the Black or African-American or Hispanic groups into the same category of sameness, just like it's a mistake to call Whitman "lily white" (which people frequently do, on this forum).[/quote]
