[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]It really just depends on what your public school option is.   With the exception of magnet and GT programs, your public school option is dictated by where you live.   The quality and diversity of public schools vary tremendously.  Compare Wilson and Whitman at the high school level, for example.  I think the demographic variation is even greater at the elementary level since the school districts are smaller.  It's pretty silly to conclude that because my DC public school is diverse they are all diverse.  The stats for each school are published. [/quote]

Yes, Wilson and Whitman are very different. None of this makes a given private school diverse in any meaningful sense of the word, however.[/quote]

Which private school do you contend is not diverse?  compared to which public school?

Earlier in this thread there is a listing of 12 Montgomery ES schools with low URM diversity (less than 5% on average) -if you are in one of these school districts its not hard to find a more diverse private school.

What in your opinion is "meaningful" diversity?[/quote]
