Students
The Broad Run attendance boundaries encompass the Ashburn communities of Ashburn Village, Farmwell Hunt, and University Center, as well as the Ridges at Ashburn and Ashbrook residential subdivisions. The LCPS middle school of Farmwell Station and, by extension, the elementary schools Ashburn Elementary, Dominion Trail, Cedar Lane and Steuart W. Weller feed students to the high school. A limited number of students living in neighboring communities outside the current attendance boundary, such as Ashburn Farm and Brambleton also attend as a result of frequent boundary change "grandfathering".
The ethnic/racial composition of Broad Run's student body in 2006–2007 is 64% White; 11% Black; 11% Hispanic; and 14% Asian.

Famous quotes containing the word students:
“The fetish of the great university, of expensive colleges for young women, is too often simply a fetish. It is not based on a genuine desire for learning. Education today need not be sought at any great distance. It is largely compounded of two things, of a certain snobbishness on the part of parents, and of escape from home on the part of youth. And to those who must earn quickly it is often sheer waste of time. Very few colleges prepare their students for any special work.”
—Mary Roberts Rinehart (1876–1958)
“Teaching Black Studies, I find that students are quick to label a black person who has grown up in a predominantly white setting and attended similar schools as “not black enough.” ...Our concept of black experience has been too narrow and constricting.”
—bell hooks (b. c. 1955)
“American universities are organized on the principle of the nuclear rather than the extended family. Graduate students are grimly trained to be technicians rather than connoisseurs. The old German style of universal scholarship has gone.”
—Camille Paglia (b. 1947)
