[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]What's the demographic breakdown of Stokes pre-k? I'm trying to find out if there's a lot of fluent native speakers in the French classroom.[b] I'm trying to convince my West African neighbors to apply, but she's afraid her child will stand out as an African. [/b]I don't have a kid there "yet", but the tour was awesome. It was a mixed group from my own two eyes, but I don't know the ethnic breakdown. Someone asked during the tour and the question was shunned because the school can't select students for language ability. Also, curious about the breakdown on the Spanish side since my DC is already bilingual in Spanish/English. I'm going to do my darndest to be first to apply next year since the WL is ordered by time stamp (unless with system is changed by plans to do one lottery for everyone, etc..). TIA[/quote]

This seems odd.  There are Hispanic, AA, White, and Asians at this school.  Most of the Francophone teachers are African.  The school has kids coming from all walks of life, not just "non-affluent" folks as some snob upthread posted.[/quote]
