[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]When we were looking for homes in MOCO - we were actually surprised at how evenly balanced some of the schools were (25% white, 25% black, 25% asian, 25% hispanic).  I'm not saying they were exactly those percentages but many of the areas we looked at had pretty diverse schools with no one group being a large majority.  I will admit though - that we weren't looking at the most expensive or least expensive areas.  More in the middle.[/quote]

75% minority school, with 50% being black and hispanic.  Much, much higher percentages from when I was going to moco schools in the 70's.  50% coming from socio-economically disadvantaged families makes a huge difference for some folks.  This is a [b]class[/b] issue, not a race issue.[/quote]

You're assuming that *all* of the black and hispanic students are SES disadvantaged.  I am not sure that's the case in MOCO.  I think there are plenty of middle class black and hispanic families in MOCO.
