Ethnic populations


Japanese

Around 1986 only 5% of the school was of Asian origins. By 1991 large numbers of Japanese students enrolled at Scarsdale High because their fathers, on business assignments from Japanese companies, moved to Scarsdale for the quality of the schools. By that year almost 20% of the students were of Asian origins, most of them were of Japanese ancestry and a few being of Chinese and Korean origins. The school established an

(ESL) program to help Japanese students adjust. Initially the Japanese students faced hostility from many of the American students, and some Japanese students had hostility towards classmates they felt were becoming too Americanized and/or socialized too much with Americans. Therefore, the Japanese and American students socialized separately. Principal Judy Fox formed the Multicultural Steering Committee to try to resolve racial tensions within the school.


Chinese

According to the 2010 census, around 5.9% of the population is of Chinese origin. Based on information provided by the Scarsdale Chinese Association, (SCA) many of these people came to America after college for better job opportunities. They eventually settled in the US, and when they had children, decided to live in Scarsdale for the proximity to train stations going to New York City, and for the schools. Mandarin is now taught in Scarsdale High School, with the possibility of being integrated into the Scarsdale Middle School world language curriculum as well.
