Can any AA parents at NPS comment on your experience? Actually can any NPS parents comment on diversity, inclusiveness and social culture at the school? Thanks

NPS is a great school for well Educated parents.

We are really considering NPS for our AA child. Are you saying that the teachers and administration at NPS are biased in favor of well-educated parents, and that this bias is manifested in how AA children are viewed (i.e., discipline, academic expectations, etc.)?

In Maryland Grace Episcopal Day School has a lot of African American boys, and they seem happy and well adjusted, (as do all the kids there).

Our children are at WES with black males in their classes. Parents seem happy, but I could not comment in depth. The children seem to do well and are definitely, very well liked by their peers. WES also has international diversity with a significant contingency from world bank, etc. Perhaps that helps with any type of diversity.

NPS is such a small, lively school-- I have a positive impression that community members treat each other with care there; I am also impressed by the posted values of the school. If you are seriously considering NPS for your child, you must have gathered similar positive feelings from your visits?
I would be wary of trying to determine a general view in any school anywhere across teachers and admin. It's true that different institutions have different 'feels', and tone is usually set from the top -- but in this day and age teachers and admin of schools come from many paths, so it would be very odd for there to be a lockstep view taken up by all staff... If you are concerned about an institutional bias, I would seek concrete examples of follow-through of the messages the school gives about 'what it wants to be'. For example, if the school says it values diversity, ask for examples of where this occurs and where is the school headed? That might give you a big picture, and then you can talk to individuals whose children attend and gather your own data firsthand for small-picture person to person insights.
