Both schools serve a relatively homogeneous student population, with a majority White student body. However, the schools do have some diversity, with small percentages of African American, Hispanic, and Asian students. The high spending per student at both schools, along with the low student-teacher ratios, suggest a strong investment in education and resources for the students in the Bolton area.
