[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]The irony is that Yorktown HS most closely mirrors the demographics of Arlington County. [/quote] Of Arlington County as a whole, or of the school-age population? I don't see how it can be the latter when the other two high schools are so much more diverse (racially and economically) than Yorktown.[/quote] pp here. So, there was this debate on a FB group I follow recently. Someone insisted the schools mirror the county's demographics as a whole. Someone posted that Yorktown did, in fact, most closely mirror those stats. Your question is a good one. Because in reality, the county is 15% Hispanic, but 28% of students in APS are Hispanic. The county is 65% white but whites make only 49% of students. So if your goal is to have the schools reflect the county as a whole, that's probably impossible. And having them mirror the student population will require busing. [/quote]
