*sigh* White is not what I'm measuring. Please don't take a comment that I've repeatedly said is irrelevant to this thread to mean that. If I am measuring anything it's graduation rate, % of kids who go on to college, test scores, national merit, and student:teacher ratio. If racial demographics measure anything it's just by correlation with income, which does actually seem to have a lot to do with how good schools are.

That said, obviously there are things about each school that can't really be seen just from numbers, so it's important to investigate your options based on things like what friends or family have experienced at those schools (though remember to take anecdotal evidence with an appropriate discount factor), and if you're thinking about private schools, certainly go visit the schools first.
