[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Is HB more diverse than north Arlington schools?[/quote]

+1. There is very limited data on both programs, HB and AT.[/quote]

By design, the county tracks them with their neighborhood schools. [/quote]

pretty sure I've seen demographic data on HB before. It is less diverse than many of the other Arlington schools. They are limited in what they can do admissions wise. Long ago APS had a system to increase diversity but then some while families sued (for ATS I think) and they had to disband this. We can see this trend continuing with the Trump admin's attack on DEI today.

This is why HB has its current system of allocation of slots by elementary and middle school. It's not perfect but it is the best they can do without running afoul of the law.

[b]So for those of you who criticize HB for not being diverse enough, I wonder what you would have them do?[/b] [/quote]

Talked about this many times. It should be automatic opt in for all students. If you win the lottery, you are given a tour of the school while class is in session, so parents have idea of the environment and curriculum.

Right now its just proactive parents who enter lottery, which has demographic impact. [/quote]
