[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Gonzaga is 78% white and only 12% African American. [/quote] Not sure what you mean to imply by "only" 12%. That's over 250% greater portion of African Americans than there are African Americans that are Catholic. I wish more were Catholic, but they are not. And what is meant by "white"? Everybody else?[/quote] Greatschools website lists Gonzaga as 80% white, 12% African-American, and 6% Latino. By any measure (i.e., for a Catholic high school, an independent school, a school in DC, or even a suburban school district), that is a pretty awful record on student diversity---and that's not even addressing, of course, that there are zero girl students. And the problem can't be that most African-Americans (like most whites) are not Catholic. Other DC Catholic high schools have more diverse student bodies, and Gonzaga admits significant numbers of non-Catholic students. Why still so white in 2016?[/quote]
