[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]On a day where the statue of Robert E. Lee in Richmond finally came down, perhaps it’s not too much to hope that one day Langley - named after the Lee family’s ancestral estate - will also be desegregated. [/quote]

Worth noting that Langley is not the least-diverse (sorry, most segregated!) FCPS high school.[/quote]

Wow. This is a long thread! But this comment intrigued me - which FCPS HS is less diverse than Langley? And please don't say TJ, as the School Board has taken steps to address that. [/quote]

Every high school is diverse.

Madison--62.71 White non hispanic, hispanic 12.6, Black 1.86, Asian 14,73, other 8.11

Langley--59.57  White non hispanic, hispanic  6.18, Black 1.66, Asian 25.21, other 7.38

When people say "not diverse enough", they don't mean that there aren't people of all major recognized racial groups.  It is simply code for "too many white people".

So, Madison is whiter than Langley and therefore a problem too.

PP who asked question back - thank you! I see what you mean. I guess because the Asian community is very high achieving generally nobody counts them as a minority. A very complicated way to discuss inclusion.
