Chevy Chase MD - What's so great about it?

and yes, BCC schools are more diverse THAN Whitman, which is what has been said. That you miss the comparison to Whitman is telling.

We chose CCMD because we want our kids to go to BCC which is fairly diverse rather than Whitman which has almost no diversity. So yes choosing CC was in part motivated by wanting more diversity.

Wow “more” is doing a lot of work there.

Silver Spring is diverse.

CC MD “diverse”? No.

Please, all everyone does around here (scum) is knock other people’s choices. If someone started talking about diversity in Silver Spring, you can bet someone will bring up how these schools perform less than other schools in the area, with a whole host of racially based jabs like too many FARMS kids. Or maybe you go in another direction - Poolesville, too Asian?

PP says he chose CC MD over Whitman/Bethesda because the former is “diverse.”

It is not.

But the schools ARE more diverse and substantially so. At B-CC you often hear Walt Whitman referred to as "Walter White-Man".

How can they say that? It contains multitudes.

This is why I can’t quit dcum.

People are looking for an easy commute to the city, have $$ to spend, and want a top public school. Within those parameters are looking for the most diversity. No one on here has gone straight to diversity - there a number of factors they are considering first. But When you go straight to state and national averages, you miss (and frankly in my view pretty disingenuously) the original criteria of location and schools.

CC MD is not that wealthy. I used to live there. I really loved it. It was a little to white for me so we moved back into the city. I did love the schools though. They were very diverse.

You’re crazy, CC MD is one of the wealthiest places in the country.

But it's not Palm Beach or Greenwich or the UES! Therefore...

I haven't read all the posts. I'll be really honest. CC is prestigious and that's why we moved here. The schools are good, good location, it's pretty, but also I'm proud to say I live here.

Meh. You could buy into a far cheaper area and still send your kids to Rosemary Hills.

I don’t care about Rosemary Hills. I’d prefer to send them to private. It’s a prestigious area. I grew up in the area and there are certain neighborhoods I’d be embarrassed to say I live in (like a far cheaper area).

I specifically didn’t name neighborhoods because I didn’t want to insult anyone. Basically, I wouldn’t live anywhere except Chevy Chase, Bethesda, McLean, maybe Arlington and upper NW DC.

It's upper middle class. Have you ever lived there? I did. It was nice. Not great. I love DC more. Compare CC to other parts of the region, not the country. Shit, the country includes WV,

That's too bad b/c when I lived in CC MD, my kids attended Rosemary Hills and it was wonderful! I moved back into the city b/c of the lack of diversity, but I really did love CC. I got tired of people asking me if I was the nanny (I'm black). Seriously.
