Our school is ethnically and racially diverse, with 43 ethnicities and 73% of our population non-native speakers of English. Many are new to the United States. Our largest population is Hispanic (39%). The next largest population are Indian and Pakistani, which comprise 20% of our school. We also have a growing Arabic population (12%), 7% Asian, and 22% of our population constituting numerous other nationalities.
The majority of our students live in apartments; therefore, we have a high mobility rate as families move to better, or in some cases, less expensive accomodations. Our 2002 school report card shows that our mobility rate continues to hover over the twenty percent mark (21.3%), compared to a state-wide mobility rate of 13.8%. |
