[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I went to a NYC magnet that had test based entrance and was majority Asian b/c of it.  While it was a great education, it did not reflect society as a whole.  While that is fine for high school, I don't want to send my child to a school especially for early elementary that is like that:  The same reason I would never send my child to an immersion Mandarin/Spanish/Korean/Hebrew school or to an public elementary school in an predominant ethnic enclave like Chinatown.

Mandarin is important to our family but so is diversity - the two reasons we did not send DC to private especially for elementary school.  Do what you feel fits your family.[/quote]

No worries mate, YY's population is thought to be around 5% Chinese ([b]adopted girls not included[/b]) and 2% fully bilingual.  A far cry from the 60% Asian (more than half Chinese) at Stuyvesant, Bronx Science and Bronx Tech.  By contrast, the MoCo Chinese immersion ES school kids are about 40% Chinese and one-quarter fully bilingual upon entry.

I'm getting quite sick of posters on this thread looking down on adopted children at YY.  Those girls are more Chinese than any of you ABCs.
