[quote=Anonymous]The only way to solve this issue it to move out one of the big predominantly white and wealthy feeder schools: Lafayette or Janney or maybe Murch (although my understanding is that Murch is a bit more diverse ethnically and economically). Move one of these schools and then you can move Shepherd and/or Bancroft too. I'm a Janney/Deal parent and I think Deal's strongest suit is it's diversity. I've actually been surprised/disappointed by how white it is and how much it feels just like Janney. I'd be 100% fine with my kids going to a new middle school (as a white minority) if they're going as part of some sort of feeder school cohort. I think many, many parents would be perfectly fine with this. Am I going to pull them out solo from Janney/Deal and send them to an underachieving school in NE? No. But I'd be find if they went as part of a larger group of kids. [/quote]
