Re: [ Schools/Education ] Fort Lee High School

Mcmansion:
When did those owners of very large homes in the East Palisades section buy in Fort Lee? Those homes don't turn over often and those people certainly don't represent the demographics of Fort Lee. And do they send their kids to Fort Lee schools? Of course not; they go to private schools.
Of course there are many non-Asians living in Fort Lee. Asians still comprise only 30-40% of the population of Fort Lee. But that is a very large percentage for a single ethnic group and the percentage has been growing each year. The fact is that in Bergen County only Palisades Park has a higher Asian percentage (41% vs. 31% in Fort Lee). These are the facts.
By the way: there was an article in the Sunday (June 4th) Bergen Record that highlighted that Fort Lee School #3 has implemented a pilot bilingual English/Korean curriculum for kids in kindergarten through 6th grade. What does that tell you about expectations for the future of the demographics of Fort Lee schools?
