[quote=Anonymous][quote=ACP123] OP here. Want to thank all of the people on this thread who responded to me. I didn't respond earlier because somehow I didn't turn on notifications. I am new to this forum! Having this insight is tremendously helpful. I just want to say, based on some of the comments on this thread, but our decision is not based on FARMS percentages or racial diversity/concentration - except to say that I was very favorably impressed by diversity on many dimensions,[b][b] including medical status[/b], in the lower grades at SWS[/b], which will carry through as those classes grow up.  Again, I want to thank everyone – especially on the reassurances about switching young. I have looked on these forums for a while, never participated before. And I have almost never seen consensus on anything. But everybody here said "switch," and that doesn't make the decision for me, but it's a very, very powerful signal. Thanks again. [/quote]

I'd add that DCUM focuses way too much on race and HHI in discussing diversity and not much on things like SPED.  SWS is 1/5 AA, but also has 1/5 of its students are SPED and the students with IEPs do very well here.  There may be overlap but it's a different kind of diversity than often discussed here.[/quote]
