I'm probably a little late with this post but my school is amazingly diverse:
White 38.1%
Hispanic 27.1%
African-American 30.7%
Asian -1.6%
Indian -0.3%
Multi-racial -2.2%
Its a public high school in South Florida  I have had so many leadership positions within my school so I stressed in my essay dealing with all the different people within my school. A total of 40 different languages are spoken at my school.

our school is pretty much equal in the 4 races: white, black, yellow, and brown
We were featured in Newsweek a couple of years ago for our diversity

My school is pretty much equal in its Caucasian and Black students. The third most prevalent ethnicity would be Hispanics, which is my ethnicity. Minorities would probably be Asians. However, my school is extremely diverse.

Yeah, Andrassy, those aren't the only two. And I'm not sure I'd call them races, they're more...sects.
I really hate it when people disregard the Mizrahi, because my family has roots in that. I guess that makes me an uber minority, though, because I'm the only Jew at my school who's not straight up Ashkenazi
