[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]All you need to do is go on W and public schools thread and read about the amazing experience there. There’s no problems, right.

To the points on diversity, yes more can be done. Sidwell though really works on doing the right thing. Not the same can be said for many other schools.

How do you reconcile the factors?

To be fair, diversity should probably be reflective of some range of the community diversity, with merit still the first criterion. The white population is about represented correctly, if perhaps a bit low if you take DMV as the peer group and not DC. But the other populations are under-or over-represented if measured by the same criterion.

[b]If you add socioeconomic, top 5 populations by income, on average near or double the white population income, are all Asian. The Black and Hispanic populations are the most disadvantaged.

Some soul searching there for our “elite”  schools. I have no idea how to solve any of this or if needs solving. This comment isn’t specific to this school, which I think walks its talk very consistently[/b].

Elite schools exist to educate the elite. Any diversity is there to enhance the experience of the kids the school cares about. No changes necessary [/quote]
