School system is 52% black in 1990, was made famous by resolution to

By contrast, 46% of white parents have 4-yr college degrees, these
are the folks up in the affluent hills who are way beyond national
average for whites. This shows why it is unfair to compare minorities
against whites in the district instead of average whites nation wide.

Renton is turning into an extension of central Seattle with Renton
High School 38% black, and 3 elementary schools near central Seattle
being mostly black. Perhaps it is becoming a middle class black
suburb extension of the poor Rainier Valley area. The hills around
Fairwood boast Lindbergh High School, which is one of the better high
schools in the region with demographics and test scores similar to
Bellevue and the affluent Eastside. The district is 18% Asian, making
it second only to Seattle in the Puget Sound.
