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:
“It is, all in all, a historic error to believe that the master makes the school; the students make it!”
—Robert Musil (1880–1942)
“We must continually remind students in the classroom that expression of different opinions and dissenting ideas affirms the intellectual process. We should forcefully explain that our role is not to teach them to think as we do but rather to teach them, by example, the importance of taking a stance that is rooted in rigorous engagement with the full range of ideas about a topic.”
—bell hooks (b. 1955)
“We are students of words: we are shut up in schools, and colleges, and recitation-rooms, for ten or fifteen years, and come out at last with a bag of wind, a memory of words, and do not know a thing.”
—Ralph Waldo Emerson (1803–1882)
