51. It depends on which school. You can't make blanket statements
In America, "great" means mostly white. The minute more than a token percentage of brown faces show up, people who haven't fled the jurisdiction already to avoid housing integration begin asking what happened to the school system they know and love. What's "wrong" with Blair HS in Silver Spring MD? When did Silver Spring become "like Beirut"? These are the questions I hear kind-hearted liberals in the DC area ask over and over.
