I've seen this site before. (maybe you provided the link?)

Youngstown has 2 high schools. East High School is too new to have much historical data. But Chaney High School seems to be the textbook definition of white flight.
Chaney High School, Youngstown Ohio / OH School Profile, Ranking, and Reviews - SchoolDigger.com
If you notice, the number of students remains about the same until 2004, but the number of white students declined steadily. After 2004, enrolment seemed to drop almost exactly the same rate that the white students were leaving. Enrollment jumps in 2008 because the school was renovated and doubled in size.

Well, I come from the land of failing schoo....errr LAUSD

In the past forty years, replace majority White and Black with a token Hispanic and small Asian presence to a majority Hispanic district with a larger Asian minority and token White and Black minorities. This kind of reflects White and Black flight from the inner portions of Los Angeles, to be replaced by a million flavors of immigrant (especially Latin American immigrants).

Here's my old high school, for example:
Van Nuys Senior High School, Van Nuys California / CA School Profile, Ranking, and Reviews - SchoolDigger.com

1988: 2291 students
35.0% White
9.0% Black
36.0% Hispanic
20.0% Asian

1998: 3501 students
20.0% White
4.5% Black
53.1% Hispanic
22.4% Asian

2008: 2938 students
13.3% White
4.7% Black
60.0% Hispanic
22.0% Asian

For some reason, the LAUSD separates "Filipino" from "Asian" and "Pacific Islander". It's cool to be your own category on the census!

The first school Im going to post is the high school from my hometown of Euclid, which is an inner-ring suburb of Cleveland.

Euclid High School, Euclid Ohio / OH School Profile, Ranking, and Reviews - SchoolDigger.com

This one is in Maple Heights Ohio, another Cleveland suburb

Maple Heights High School, Maple Heights Ohio / OH School Profile, Ranking, and Reviews - SchoolDigger.com

Alot of schools now in the Cleveland suburbs that were majority white are now majority black, or white flight is starting to happen in other suburbs. In the actual city of Cleveland, most of the high schools on the Eastside are 90+% black, on the Westside the schools are very integrated. I'll post more Cleveland aswell as Cleveland suburban high schools later too.

here are the demographics of the San Francisco unified school district, as of 2008:

SFUSD (56,454 students):
white - 10.7%
black - 12.8%
latino - 23.5%
asian - 46.3%
pacific islander - 1.3%
native american - 0.6%
multiple/no repsonse - 4.8%

I cant find any old stats but i'm guessing when i was a kid it was a little bit more black and white, and a little bit less asian and latino.

Dunbar was the exception, as it was one of the two Black HS's in the city during that time. Check this article out that talks about Dunbar: Thomas Sowell - "The Education of Minority Children"
