[quote=Anonymous]We rejected houses in boundaries where my kid would have been one of the only 1-2 white kids in her class each year. She also would have been one of the only non-ESOL kids and one of a very few non-FARMS kids so it was a no-brainer for me. That felt like a recipe for feeling left out or getting picked on. We also rejected schools that were basically 97% white and 98% non-FARMS because I feel like that's not how the world is and she shouldn't grow up in a bubble. The school we picked has just under 40% caucasian kids and a really diverse mix of AA, Asian, Hispanic and mixed-race kids. She has friends from all 4 groups, and the activities/teams we do are very diverse. The ESOL and FARMS rates are both in the 20-30% range, and I think that's healthy too.[/quote]
