Not in our AAP school. In fact there was significantly more low income as well as diversity in our AAP school than our neighborhood school.  [/quote]

Is the AAP portion of the AAP school more diverse or is it the AAP school as a whole that is more diverse?[/quote]

Both AAP portion and the non-AAP portion are very diverse... but I will say that at least in my kid's center, the AAP part is more white.  The base part of the center is probably 90% minority... so even if the AAP part is 50% white -- it's a lot more white than the base part of the school.[/quote]

which school?[/quote]

Actually, I must correct myself.  The whole school (center and gen ed together) has 30% white kids.  Most of that is in aap, so it might be more like 40% white kids in aap and about 10% of the non-aap kids are white...the stats don't break it out, but the yearbook gives you some idea of the breakdown.

Definitely not running to the center to "escape the poor or brown kids."   Our base school is not a "rich" neighborhood, but pretty low farms (11%) and more caucasian than the center.[/quote]
