<p>“In terms of cross-admits, it remains a strongly regional school with a strongly “white” character they’re trying to get rid of.”</p>
<p>That’s bound to be a tall order for a very rural school located in “the whitest state in the union”, especially one that has had to deal with allegations of racial profiling (such as in the highly publicized case of one of its AfAm students last year), and in the face of many reports of racism in school review websits such as StudentsReview.com.</p>
