[quote=Anonymous][i] At the elementary-school level, white Washington parents prioritized schools where about 60 percent of the student body was white and [b]were slightly more likely to avoid schools with larger percentages of white children[/b]. At the middle school level, the researchers found that the “bliss point” for white parents was a student body that was 26 percent white.[/i] this seems terribly flawed. If parents had a realistic shot at JKLM schools via lottery parents of any race would prioritize a school regardless of how high its % of white students. These schools are infrequently prioritized because parents are more likely attempt to lottery into schools with realistic prospects than pie in the sky. Are they assuming I wouldn't take a spot at JKLM if that was a realistic possibility?[/quote]
