[quote=Anonymous]Also -- as someone who could afford to live in the Yorktown district but is black, I made the specific choice to live in the Wakefield district because Yorktown's scores for black students was worse (!!!) than Wakefield's. http://www.greatschools.org/virginia/arlington/135-Yorktown-High-School/quality/#Test_scores http://www.greatschools.org/virginia/arlington/132-Wakefield-High-School/quality/#Test_scores I am investing the money I saved on my home on supplementing my kids' educational experience (tutoring, traveling, sports, etc.). I just couldn't justify the "schools" argument as a black family. I'm also upper middle class, dual income, etc. We could swing a small house in Yorktown but actually chose to pass on it because the diversity in the school and performance for my children's sub group was better in Wakefield.[/quote]
