- Barrin92 6y agomy guess would be that moving to a lottery is going to drastically shift the demographics of the school to the general demographics of the region, which would be affluent white people. Scott's saying that the rigorous testing regime got a lot of Asian kids into the school because they tend to do very well on tests, the affirmative action helped minorities, what is presumably the political majority felt left out.
- jcranmer 6y ago> the general demographics of the region, which would be affluent white people. FCPS is actually probably the largest diverse school district in the US. It's about 37% white, 27% Hispanic, 20% Asian, 10% black, and 6% multiracial. (Although affluent still holds true--Fairfax County is the second-highest median household income county in the country).
