PP, in your obsession with diversity it's funny that the only category you didn't mention is socioeconomic, which is of course the only one that really matters any more. Perhaps that is because, for all the ballyhooing, B is still not a magnet for families from, shall we say, east of the Park?[/quote]

LOL. long, long, post and do leave a few things out. Per their website and financial statements to the IRS, Beauvoir awards FA to about 27% of its applicants. - signed and "east of the park " family, of which I know of at least 20 others in DC's grade alone.[/quote]

How many of these 27% of families getting FA are in the $90-100K HHI range, and getting a few thousand in FA, though? And how many are $30-50K families getting 100% FA, and nobody in the family has been to college? On the General Discussion forum - someone, maybe you, you sound like the same rightwinger - was trying to make the point that at Chevy Chase Elementary School there were "only" 9% FARMS kids. But to get FARMS, you need to have income not more than 185% of the poverty line (the poverty line is around $24 for a family of four, so this is income of maybe  $50K). So effectively, the 9% FARMS kids at Chevy Chase ES have HHI of less than $50K and would be the kids who would need 100% FA at any private school. Now THAT's diversity, even at a Chevy Chase public.[/quote]
