Yep. Divided along school district boundaries. We always refer to that side as "over by Armstrong."

Ah. We were like 60,000 until whenever the most recent census was. They bumped us up to 65,000.
And know whats a little sad? They have to bus kids in from downtown because otherwise we would barely have any African Americans. Because it seems like most can't afford to live out here. I dont mean to be racist, but its true.

Well we don't tend to have a problem with that either.

We do, because otherwise Wayzata would be considered "racist" and since they dont want that, they have to bus in people from downtown.

I don't know...it's not just African Americans who are open enrolled, though a lot of people do come from Minneapolis. On the flip side, I don't think that most of the African Americans DO come from Mpls...

Our problem is, typically, the subarbs where we live are the more well off people. And unfortunatly that doesnt seem to include a ton of African Americans. Don't get me wrong, there are some, just more live downtown Minneapolis.

Yeah. Though the suburbs do have some lower-income housing locations as well...but generally the high-rise dense apartments are in Minneapolis and St. Paul. But that's not saying that all non-Caucasians live in lower-income housing, for that would be an unintelligent statement.

Dunno about senioers, but our class, class of '07, currently has, what, 62 people who'd count as valedictorian? Non-weighted, that is. Luna would be the weighted one, since shes the only one thats gotten an A in an AP class, and one of the only ones to even take one. But yeah, we have like 62 valedictorians, myself included. But this time 3 years from now, i'm sure we'll have like 1 or 2. Cuz its only a matter of time until the 62 of us get an A-.

Yeah, I'm not a valedictorian anymore because of the A- in math I got last term. *Wonders who set the A limit at 94%* Haha just kidding.

What's weird is that ours has been a boy the past four years.
