Coping with the socio-economic divide between kids

<p>Here is the link to the report 2prepMom mentions, along with a rather telling quote:</p>

<p>“Survey results indicate that most students think there is a social divide between students of different races and ethnicities, with 65.8 percent of the all respondents indicating so. This is also contested along racial lines. The majority of Caucasian (67.5 percent) and Asian-American and Asian (64.5 percent) students believed that Andover successfully connects racially and socioeconomically diverse students with each other. African-American and African respondents overwhelmingly disagreed with this, with only 27.6 percent saying that Andover successfully connects students of all backgrounds.”</p>

<p>[State</a> of the Academy 2013](<a href=“http://www.phillipian.net/sota13/sections/welcome.html]State”>http://www.phillipian.net/sota13/sections/welcome.html)</p>

<p>I was not able to find out about their methodology other than that the survey was done through surveymonkey. They had 685 responses; Andover’s enrollment is 1143. Andover is one of the more diverse BS, with 46% of students receiving FA (13% of student body receiving full ride), more women than men on faculty, 8.7% of faculty is Black and 5.5% is Hispanic/Latino. 16% of the most recent admits identify as “Native American, Black or African American, Hispanic or Latino or Biracial.”</p>
