[quote=Anonymous]We live in a little house at the edge of a super rich formerly redlined neighborhood that is >90% white. My family is mixed. The only diversity at our zoned elementary comes from kids, primarily boys, who are bussed in for a special education program housed at the zoned elementary. We didn’t know any of this when we bought our house- we were just trying to find a SFH close to DH’s new job. Once we had DD we realized we didn’t want her to be the only girl of color in her grade, so we applied to private school where it is just 60% white and draws from a far wider pool of kids. I’m not happy with every aspect of the school, but it was the right move at this age in order for DD to not be the only non-white girl in her grade. So yes, some of us sought out private schools to find diversity that we couldn’t get in our public school.[/quote]
