Top 10 Most Diverse Schools as of 9/1/2023
Diversity rankings are determined by taking the district ranking of each racial demographic and adding up the total points for each school. For example, the school with the highest % of Black students is given a 1, the second highest a 2, and so on. The schools scoring the fewest points on this scale are considered the most racially diverse.
