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:
“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)
“I know that I will always be expected to have extra insight into black texts—especially texts by black women. A working-class Jewish woman from Brooklyn could become an expert on Shakespeare or Baudelaire, my students seemed to believe, if she mastered the language, the texts, and the critical literature. But they would not grant that a middle-class white man could ever be a trusted authority on Toni Morrison.”
—Claire Oberon Garcia, African American scholar and educator. Chronicle of Higher Education, p. B2 (July 27, 1994)
“Separatism of any kind promotes marginalization of those unwilling to grapple with the whole body of knowledge and creative works available to others. This is true of black students who do not want to read works by white writers, of female students of any race who do not want to read books by men, and of white students who only want to read works by white writers.”
—bell hooks (b. 1955)
