Define diversity. Race? Religion? Socio economic status? Sexual orientation?
If you just mean more Asians then go to New Hyde Park or Hicksville. But they really arent diverse they are just majority Asian.
If you truly want diverse across races then go for Valley Stream, Elmont, West Hempstead
Yes there's quota for Asian in general, but it is set for nation wide Asian population, not on individual high school. Being in a school with high percentage of Asian does not lower your chance to top school. But being an Asian in general does effect your chance due to quota set at universities.
with that being said, being in a top high school definitely helps with getting into top universities!!!
just for reference look at the kids who grad from Jericho in the last 3 years.
Its funny how you tell me this, but then tell OP to move to Roslyn since its not "too asian".
This is exactly what I did, I moved to Roslyn, because its not "too asian".
So you in essence agree with me.
no i don't agree with you about the top university comment, Roslyn comprised decent amount of Asian, but also more of other ethnics compare to Jericho or Great neck etc. however it has nothing to do with getting into top universities.

Roslyn is not diverse compared to Great Neck. Its the same ethnicities, just different proportions. Both towns are asian and jews, and with a smattering of section 8 students. The only difference with Roslyn is right now its more jews than asians, reverse of Great Neck. Its like how Great Neck was in the 80s and 90s. I know because I grew up in Great Neck at that time and went to Great Neck South when its was still predominantly jewish. Roslyn now reminds of how Great Neck was back then when I was in High school.
If OP wants fantasy diversity land for her children, she can live in the city. But even there, the diversity is an illusion. The public schools stink, except for the top ones which are predominantly asian. All the rich white liberals send their kids to private school anyway. I left the city because I didn't want diversity beating up my wimpy asian kids every day.
I love how the original poster tries to disguise there own potential biases in there neighborhood "research"
