I'm surrounded by cars with ESD, Greenhill, Jesuit, and Highlands stickers on them every morning as I leave the Grapevine/Flower Mound area to drive my son to Cistercian. Is it "white flight" when you leave a white school for private school? Not all those white kids are leaving Dallas for private school.

Is it “white flight” when you leave a white school for private school?

The best way to get the full scope is to search for all Texas schools, download the data into Excel/Access and then filter for the local schools via zip code, city name, etc, because Greenhill is in Addison and Cistercian is in Irving. Greenhill is there:

So is Cistercian: http://nces.ed.gov/surveys/pss/privateschoolsearch/school_detail.asp?Search=1&SchoolName=Cistercian&State=48&NumOfStudentsRange=more&IncGrade=-1&LoGrade=-1&HiGrade=-1&ID=Y1608436

St. Marks is missing, which is odd because I’ve used this data before (it’s been a few years, tho) and they were included previously.

The website Kent references is by no means complete, just off the top of my head I don't see Cistercian, Greenhill, St. Marks. And then there are the charter schools, Harmony Science Academy, North Hills, etc. Interesting exercise.

You can download comprehensive school enrollments for every private school in Dallas (or Texas or the U.S., for that matter) from this U.S. Dept. of Education website: http://nces.ed.gov/surveys/pss/privateschoolsearch/ That data is better than what you're getting from the relo website.
