[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]There isn't true diversity at any, just like PP said rich or middle-high income kids in ever color.  They aren't pulling kids who are in true need like foods stamps and cash assistance.[/quote]

You are wrong.[/quote]

Which privates have large numbers of students on food stamps? There are catholic schools who try to serve poor communities, but I can't think of any independents that go beyond token representation [/quote]
Verbum Dei High School in Watts

100% on FA even though the tuition is like $2500.

And every student has been accepted to a 4 yr college for the past few years.[/quote]

I don't see how a Jesuit school in LA is relevant to non-catholic schools in DMV [/quote]
? isn't a catholic school a private school?

But, yes, it's not a DC private. I assumed the ^PP was referring to any private school.[/quote]

"There are catholic schools who try to serve poor communities, but I can't think of any independents that go beyond token representation"

Typically independent in the context of private schools means non-catholic[/quote]

There are independent Catholic schools.

But let’s go with your definition. Can you think of any DC independent schools that try to serve poor communities? Or have any real socioeconomic diversity? Any first gen? Any Dreamers?

DP.  I’m not sure what definition we are all using, but the Bishop T Walker school is an Episcopal school in DC enrolls students from underserved communities.[/quote]
