Percent Students of Color
Among "All Schools," view the twenty boarding schools with the "highest percentage of students of color." First, some important notes:

  • For several key reasons (listed below), these comparisons are intended only as informal reference points for evaluating the diversity at a school.

  • Defining "students of color" is not always a clear-cut issue, and schools sometimes use slightly differing definitions when reporting data.

  • Boarding school populations can reflect regional populations (naturally, boarding students would still rather be closer than farther to their families) - it will be natural for schools in less diverse regions to have a less diverse student body than schools in other areas, and this should not reflect poorly on the school in any way.
