[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]No, I would not. Why are you contemplating it? Are the academics fantastic? Is it a great environment? What else do you know about this school other than the demographics?

School is where your child will spend the vast majority of his/her waking hours. Let them be happy at school. Don't make every aspect of their school existence a lesson of some sort.

I truly believe there are about 5% of DCUM parents who really prioritize sending their kid to a very diverse school. The rest of us care about diversity but care about academics and environment more. Diversity is a nice to have.[/quote]

This is true for white parents. for POC, diversity actually is a priority, bc we don't want our kids to be the "only" and subject to horrific racism. So we are searching for a school that has it all -- academics and diversity.[/quote]

Definitely agreeing with you here PP.  Black/Latino kids will be treated like trash in all white schools. [/quote]
