[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Is there an equity concern with HB? We weren’t interested in it due to all the factors listed above (just in case someone wants to claim sour grapes). But I was disturbed by the diversity. Close to Yorktown in white students (Y - 64% and HB - 59%). Smallest presence of Black (4%) and Hispanic (17%) kids in the county. I am wondering why this is and should there be a concern?[/quote] Each school in APS gets an allocation of spots according to the population attending the school. HB has put more effort to visit schools and outreach to parents to apply to the lottery to get more diversity. But the reality is they are choosing students from the pool that has applied. You have to apply to be selected. From previous surveys many parents have voiced that their priority is a neighborhood school and being able to walk. Unless you live in Rosslyn, HB doesn't have that.[/quote]
