That's unbelievable.  Shameful even.[/quote]

How is it "shameful?"[/quote]

That 50 years after Brown v. Board of Education--which was a Supreme Court case based on a Virginia complaint--we still have segregated schools. But now people can say its because they prefer "neighborhood schools" and "schools with good test scores." [/quote]

I want a neighborhood school with good test scores AND diversity.

+1  Which is why we are happy at Long Branch -- 1/3 FARM, 50% White but still good test scores.  Yes, on average not as high as the Jamestown/Tuckahoe/etc. but affluent kids do as well there as in those schools (Great Schools used to report out test scores separate for FARM vs Non-FARM).  I think my kids benefit from seeing that not everyone lives the same way.
