“Menlo-Atherton: By the Numbers” was initially published in the March issue of The Mark. Staff members reached out to M-A’s sports teams, extracurricular groups, and administrators to determine the racial makeup of each group. Chronicle staff writers Mitra Pezeshki and Aashka Popat transformed the data into an engaging video, below. The video has English and translated Spanish subtitles.
