[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Sometimes geography (of the school and the area) plays into the racial makeup of the school too.  Not everyone is interested in 1hr+ commutes to school.  Take a look at the racial makeup of the area, and note the school locations.  Some of your answers are found there.  Not all, of course.

Your argument is there are not enough black boys in DC?  :shock: [/quote]

Reading comprehension and critical thinking not your strong suit?[/quote]

Look at the map.  Good grief.  If you are AA, and live among the "green dots", what are the chances you want to drive the distance to, say, Landon--probably an hour or more every day?

I have a kid at bullis, which is arguably more diverse than most (and not part of this thread since it's co-ed).  They have a bus that comes from the "green dot" area, and my kid tells me about what his friends go through to attend Bullis.  Getting up by or before 5:00am, home after 8 or 9 sometimes.  It's hard, and not everyone is willing to do it.[/quote]

But there are plenty of black kids closer by and if schools cared they would recruit.

Plus Gonzaga is in the middle of the green area and 90% white.

Prep could find plenty of boys in Rockville.[/quote]
