[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]This thread has taken a bizarre twist OP, all this info is easily accessible in the at a glance reports. And I find it offensive that so many people are assuming bias before it even happens. 
If you don’t find the unicorn you are looking for, because you won’t, perhaps PH county private schools will work better for you.[/quote]

Spoken like a parent who can rest assured that their child will get a good education at any "good" school. I'm sorry that a discussion about the ways that schools benefit some groups to the detriment of others "offends" your delicate sensibilities. You're welcome to leave this thread at any time. [/quote]
Your assumption is incorrect. I wish I could crowdsource the best school for my child and get this level of engagement. My child is at one of the worst performing high schools in the county and is performing as best as she could in that environment. Her teachers treat all engaged students with respect but are clearly agitated by those kids who make it obvious they don’t want to be there. Race isn’t the issue. Behavior is. I would love to send her somewhere else but we don’t have the budget that you do. So from where I am sitting, the fact that you have a choice and continue to nit pick schoo performance down to the percentages of kids by race makes me wonder if you don’t see how privileged you are. Your snowflake will be fine at any of those schools everyone has researched for you.[/quote]
