Yvonne A. Ewell Townview Magnet Center rated best school in the US

I understand that the population numbers are out of whack. That is understandable. What I have issues with is the fact that they claim to be diverse and print those numbers when they know they are not correct.

That's the ratio they will set the school at, if the ratio could be met. I don't see a problem with them calling themselves diverse. The problem I have is when people try to make a mountain out of a molehill.

My oldest got out in '03 and it wasn't near that bad. Happened almost overnight.

I think it's less than 1% now. I lived in Desoto all my life, no idea what happened to that place!

Cheap tract houses at the end of their life cycle.

There are/were some really nice neighborhoods there. $500,000+, and then the hood just crept up around everything. I got my nick name at Desoto high school, I was know as "Crazy Cracker" since freshman year.

I suppose I may have been guilty of that.
