[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I can never quite understand what people really mean when they ask for cultural diversity. My kid is mixed race. His girlfriend is black. His best friends are Asian, Hispanic, white, Indian, black, and many mixes. Many of them went to Rocky Run MS in the AAP center. I love this area because it feels pretty diverse--not diverse as code for a lot of one minority, but a great mixture. The kids have first-hand experiences with each others' cultures, ethnicities, and religions. Are there a lot of black kids at Rocky Run? No, certainly less than 10 percent, but the principal is black and the outstanding orchestra teacher is black, and there are other excellent admins and teachers who are black, as well as other ethnicities, so maybe that would work out, if OP doesn't want to land in some lily-white school.[/quote]

I'm guessing you are not a racial minority although your child is. Why not ask your DH or the child's other parent why it would matter. It seems you would have a good resource close to you to explain this to you.  Having other minorities  around is it the same as having other black students around.[/quote]
