Ok then OP, just helping you out: move in-bounds for JKLMM or go private. Just please, do not go charter. Save yourself, and save us from you!

Someone who says "at best 33% white" is not even looking for "Benetton" schools. They're looking for a free, high quality, lily white school.

OP do yourself a favor, move in-bounds for a JKLMM school or go private or leave DC. You won't like your charter school if you stay here, and the kids and parents who appreciate diversity/desire diversity will not enjoy having to deal with you being miserable and worried that there are too many non-whites in your kids' school. It will suck for all of us.

Add IT to this list, for the lower grades anyhow.

Yup. Whites are the minority at charters. If you want majority white folks go to JKLMM or to high property tax nabes in MoCo and Fairfax.

Non-Hispanic whites are a minority in DC--below 40% of the population, if I recall correctly. So it stands to reason that they'd also be a minority in charter schools, which take kids from all across the city.

(In fact, since whites are overrepresented in neighborhoods with strong DCPS options, I might expect them to be even more underrepresented in charters.)

I hesitate to share this, but ''white'' (also "asian") is often shorthand for "middle/upper-middle class." The shocking news is that there are, in fact, many middle/upper-middle class AAs too.

Perhaps you ought to be assessing FARMS numbers instead. Or, perhaps you should be looking for your size in white cotton percale - extra starch to help with the pointy hood.
