[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]The ethnicity numbers for SJC above are laughable. [b]The "stats" link is not to an SJC website.[/b]

I have 2 kids at SJC and I interact with students on campus 4-8 hrs/wk.

MAYBE 40% white and 40% black, though I'd say more black students than white.

To the question above about Muslim students, I wonder how many would want to attend a Catholic school.  Religion classes are required each year, with the 1st 2 yrs are New & Old Testament;  the next 2 years the classes are really more ethics from a Christian perspective.

Hindus and Buddhists also represent just under 1% of the US population (Pew 2015) and may be under-represented as well.

As to the socio-economic question, I suggest that SJC has more low-income white students than Wilson.   I think it helps kids grow when race and income are not so linked as they are at local schools.

To the original poster I'd say the only reasonable answer to a question about schools: listen to feedback, then go visit any school that you'd consider.  [/quote]

No, just a school profile that SJC publishes and posts on their website. It's the same one that is attached to students' college applications.  [/quote]
