Leaving the "private school bubble of wealth, privilege, and non-diversity" to return to APS (Atlanta Public Schools)

Gotcha. She's actually not that far off -- Brandon's non-white enrollment is around 25%.

Still a bit of an anomaly for a city of Atlanta school, most of which are predominantly or exclusively black. It does appear that more white families are coming back to APS.

As I say, I haven't a clue on the private school scene.

I don't know the numbers but a stroll through the campus of one local private school in Buckhead sure doesn't make you think there is much diversity. Just sayin'.
