What alot of schools fail to do when desgregation programs occurr is bring about a higher level of student achievement. Diversity is not good when those students you brought in to diversify are all in special educ. or are performing subpar in classes and standardized tests. When this happens, the white parents do not want their children to be affiliated with it because they feel it will diminish the slectivity of choices for the next level of education (most notably college). If a school can diversify and maintain it's academic excellence and thorough resources, then the white flight will not occurr.
