[quote=Anonymous]I'm a teacher and the only way I would choose a more diverse school for my child is if it is a magnet school.  My DS went to a magnet school for ES.  It was more diverse racially and SES wise.  It had the same test scores as the higher SES schools in our county.  Why?  It has motivated parents.  Parents had to provide their own transportation to school except for students zoned for a few schools nearby the magnet school.  Those students were bused from those close by schools to the magnet.  If parents are willing to drive their kids all over the county to get to school, there is a lot more motivation there than at a magnet school where nobody has to provide transportation.  I work in a Title One school and we have great teachers here but the average student is much lower in terms of reading level than the average elsewhere.  So the only way my kid would come to my school is if he was low average.  That is who gets most of our time here because there are so many students in that category.  [/quote]
