[quote=Anonymous][/quote] It's a magnet school, is it not? I would assume that the reason why one class might have more kids of color than the next is because they are probably not taking the same sort of classes that their white peers are. This was the case when my DH was a student at Eleanor Roosevelt. The magnet and non-magnet kids rarely had classes together.[/quote] That could be the reason. Or self-segregation could be. Or schools that try to draw and keep white parents by creating program tailored to them might be. Lack of diversity in communities and in schools occurs everywhere. What's unique about Takoma Park is the proclivity to look down their noses at whiter school districts, as if the demographics or their own kids' classrooms is any different. A big part of the whole "cache" of Takoma Park is that it's some sort of progressive, racial melting pot. This is very much not the case. [/quote]
