[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I know I'll get flamed but there is a difference in the type of families that move to HB, Henry areas than Abbingdon.  Lots of Asians, East Asians, Mongolians in Henry and HB area.  I live in Henry district and see them at the park.  Talking to the parents they say they moved specifically into these districts for the diversity and high ranked elementary schools.  These families may stay or may move to different apartments for middle school, high school.  They are not the families clustered around the west end of the pike.  [/quote]

PP whose kids go to Hoffman Boston here.  Yes, there are a ton of Mongolians at our school.  They don't seem to speak much English, but they are able to actively participate in PTA meetings because the school provides an in-house Mongolian interpreter.  The interpreter actually went back to Mongolia over the summer and brought back a bunch of books for the library's collection, as they encourage kids to become literate in their native language.  It's a very diverse and supportive environment.[/quote]
