Ours was pretty diverse, we're right next to a military base so we have all kinds of people. 56% of my HS was "minority enrollment" according to the county website.
American Indian-1%
Asian-3%
Hispanic -10%
Black-32%
White-44% -
my HS says 68% white. it was probably higher when I was there - we had a few African American kids and then a small group of Iraqi immigrants.
LO's future elem. school is 44% white and 37% Hispanic, with a mix among the rest. Not sure we will still be here then, and I see pros/cons of moving out to less diverse suburbs.

Grew up in the suburbs in New England. Not very diverse at all, sadly. It took a long time for me to understand other cultures and my own privilege because I wasn't exposed to much difference.

I grew up in Atlanta so I would go to a mix of predominantly black or white schools in elementary school. By the end of elementary-high school, it was pretty much 40% black, 40% white, and 20% Asian/Hispanic. I went to private schools though so that may have had a lot to do with it. I'm sure if I was in my public school district, it would have been 99% black.

Growing up our schools were not very diverse, but LO's school will be diverse and hopefully international.

Elementary and middle were very diverse. I went to a Catholic high school. It was racially diverse but not very culturally diverse in that everyone was Christian and of similar economic backgrounds.
My college was a public school in CA but was ridiculously white. It was shocking.

I went to four different elementary schools. My first one was very diverse, it was in the suburbs of DC. Second one was farther away from DC; it wasn't as diverse. Moved to PA, and had very little diversity in the last two elementary schools, middle school and high school. I graduated with 600+ kids, and I think less than 25 weren't Caucasian.

There was one asian girl and one half asian guy. And one Jewish kid. That's it (class of 200). The year I graduated a (a! one! lol) black family moved into the school district but neither of the two kids were in my grade.

Not very diverse, and our current town is less diverse than the town I grew up in. It feels like the further away from Cleveland the suburb is, the less diverse it is. My high school was:
Asian 113 (5%)
Black 54 (2.17%)
Hispanic 35 (1.41%)
Native American 1 (0.04%)
White 2215 (89.10%)
