[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]No, I would not. Why are you contemplating it? Are the academics fantastic? Is it a great environment? What else do you know about this school other than the demographics?

School is where your child will spend the vast majority of his/her waking hours. Let them be happy at school. Don't make every aspect of their school existence a lesson of some sort.

I truly believe there are about 5% of DCUM parents who really prioritize sending their kid to a very diverse school. The rest of us care about diversity but care about academics and environment more. Diversity is a nice to have.[/quote]

Diversity is not a top priority for me. My two major concerns are caliber of academics and safety of environment. There are other minor concerns but I've never thought to check the demographics. It is unimportant to me. 
This area is so diverse anyway that by virtue of living in DC metro kids will get enough "diversity" anyway. I don't think it has to ben an intentional act. [/quote]
