The HS my Dad went to (during segregation) was 100% white. It's now 100% black and an absolute war zone. Like one of the worst schools in the entire country.

99% white in the 80s and 90s. Now it's 96% white. The other percentage is Mexican.

Very rural.

Probably 90% white in the early 00s

Now less than 50% but it’s a bigger school now so there’s more white students than when I went

Black percentage went up from about 5% to 29%

Now
White - 74%
Hispanic - 10%
Asian - 9%
Black - 2%
Other - 5%

That’s honestly pretty spot on to the demo 20 years ago. Don’t recall exact figures but each is probably within a point or two. Hispanic is probably the biggest mover up. I’m pretty sure Asian had been 2nd most while I was in school.

I do remember when the school paper released the school demographics one year and I calculated that there were 19 black kids out of ~2000.

I don't know about the demographics but it's about half the size it was then.

when I graduated

Racial Makeup:
White: 60.9%
Asian: 22.1%
Hispanic: 7.9%
Black: 5.4%
Multiracial: 3.6%


As of 2022

Student Diversity:
White: 61%
Asian: 22%
Hispanic: 8%
Black: 5%
Multiracial: 4%




My school did have a lot of Jews and Persians too. I'm assuming they are labeled as white for this stat though.

4% Asian
2% Other

Currently:
48% Hispanic
42% Black
6% White
2% Asian
2% Mixed/Other

Average ACT - 16
72% Graduation Rate
33% pursue college, with 66% of those attending at least a second year of college
