[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I think the most important thing is the quality of education at a school, not the "diversity". I think parents need to focus on this, rather than the percentage of kids who "look" a certain way. [/quote] While I agree that the most important thing is the quality of education at a school, diversity is also important. I went to a small (~400 students) middle school that was 95% white. It was very difficult being one of the few non-white kids. My high school was about 80% white and that was a much better experience. I wouldn't want to send my kids to a school where they were one of a few non-white kids. [/quote] Diversity is important but still a secondary goal to academic quality I know one elementary school in Northwest that used to put "diverse" as the first item in their mission statement. They rewrote it after a number of parents expressed the view that diversity is the icing on the cake but not the cake itself.[/quote]
