This is a stupid question if asked in a vacuum. Most people wish for a diverse student body.

However, if you ask parents, who have scrimped and sacrificed to buy into a great school district, to risk losing real estate value because of redistricting, you're going to get a much different answer! They will view it as unfair for them to have sacrificed so much while others do not. It becomes a financial issue.

Full disclosure -  we are a family of mixed ethnicity who tightened our belts for decades to afford to buy in a good school district.

We are also a family of mixed ethnicity. Our school was redistricted and we took a big hit on our home value as a result. I don't care about the school becoming more diverse ethnically or in terms of SES, although I'd say that if a lot of kids are well below grade level, the SB needs to be ready and willing to invest a lot of additional support, as necessary, into the school. Otherwise, prepare for a mass exodus of the upper SES kids to the nearest AAP center or private school. [/quote]
