[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Ok I think this thread is over the top. Poor person is new to all this. Way to squash them.

Also, diversity does indeed exist at most schools in DC! My HRCS is very diverse in race income and nationality. At least, compared to most of America. I think you’re being a bit harsh here. The only non diverse schools are in upper NW, I terms of being mostly white and wealthy, [b]but the OP won’t attempt those I hope.[/b] Mostly black schools aren’t diverse in the sense that they have one race/class mostly.

Or is it that you posters believe only tip top scores are acceptable? That’s your own bias not necessarily OP. I think they want what most of us want. [/quote]

Why would you hope that? I understand why someone would not choose those schools, but they might be just what OP is looking for. If she wants mostly cultural diversity, she'll find plenty of that given the many international families at those schools. And even the whitest is only 75% white (not 90%+ of one race, like many DCPS at the other end of the spectrum). Given that OP ruled out her neighborhood school right off the bat, it doesn't sound like SES diversity is a priority for her. [/quote]
