Where Are All the White People in San Francisco Public Schools?
- socrates2016 12y agoIt was this way when I went to school in SF in the 80s. The rich white kids would go to the nicer elementary schools or go to private schools. A few would come back for Lowell High School (magnet high school). Also this phenomena was well known even back then.
