[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]From HBW website:
I have heard that the HBW student body is not very diverse, that it does not mirror the County. Is that accurate?

HBW, as a county-wide program, does not draw students from only its local northern Arlington neighborhood, but from all over the county.  South Arlington students are as likely to attend HBW as north Arlington students.  HBW has students from all 5 middle schools and all 3 high schools, and the ratio of students enrolled from each school is roughly equal when compared to the overall number of students in each attendance zone.  For example 7.4 percent of students who live in the Wakefield attendance zone attend HBW, and 7.0 percent of the students in the Yorktown attendance zone attend HBW, despite HBW’s location within the Yorktown boundary.

What an absolute non-answer!  It doesn’t address the diversity question at all. [/quote]

If you keep reading it does say that HB is whiter than the county. You cannot make people apply to attend HB and therefore if not many minoritoes apply, not many will be selected. I would guess that majority of applicants are white. The lottery is blind other than zoned location.

The racial composition at HB Woodlawn matches Yorktown very closely. [/quote][/quote]
