AP & IB are 90% white, with the remainder the children of foreign-born doctors.

My 6 sections of senior students are 95% Hispanic, 4% black, and 1% white.

Here's the equipment breakdown: all AP, science and math teachers get color printers. All AP and IB teachers get smartboards and mobile computing labs.

Yep, just about complete now. You can't even bring your own equipment to school by policy.
