Also talk diversity and they will tell you we don't have black kids but we have all the other types of diversity and it's just as good. haha ... Thanks world bank and NIH... for the right type of diversity.

OP ... you kids will go to school with kids that think living in a $800K house is not wealthy... just so you know.

You must not be in DC.

Yes I am... and you will never get it.

You're the one who doesn't get it, PP. Making assumptions about strangers on the internet is pretty silly.

Thanks PP! Today I learned that East Asian and South Asian people do not count as diversity.

OP, I am curious about what other schools/clusters you are considering. Can you share?

+1 My childhood home in the rust belt (my parents still own it) that is worth 150k looks like an average house in Bethesda/Potomac.

It’s all relative, especially in this area. I live in a neighborhood with $500K houses. Where I am from, that is considered expensive. several of my neighbors are recent immigrants, some of them undocumented (renters).

Lots of people in this area spend an inordinate amount of money on housing leaving them with less disposable income.

Churchill has more black kids (9%) than Whitman (<5%), so that's something.

Also, some information about the Scotland community, which was there before Potomac:

The last link also has information about Tobytown, which is zoned for Wootton.

Actually that's the opposite of what the top PP said.

Would you consider most undocumented immigrants wealthy? Yet, there are plenty living in homes that are worth more than in many other parts of the country.

Housing in this area is pricey for everyone.

Living in a $800K doesn’t automatically indicate wealth to me.

DP. Of course it is. OP is presumably worried about being surrounded by kids who expect to jet to Europe twice a year, be given a Benz at 17, etc.

Folks living in an $800k house in Potomac aren’t doing that or anything close. They likely live comfortable lives with the occasional modest luxury, but nothing extravagant. It could easily be a two Fed family or other people with good, but not incredibly high earning jobs.

You are not a stranger you are my neighbor.

That's because you live among wealthy people. The median household income in Montgomery County is about $106,000, and the median value of owner-occupied housing in Montgomery County is about $475,000.

If I had a nickel for every time I've read a post like this on DCUM, I'd have a lot of nickels but still wouldn't be able to afford a $800,000 house in Potomac.

So here you go OP.

If you kids go to your house at the cape and only ski in Colorado at xmas... not wealthy... you actually have to "jet" to Europe.

And if you kid get a jeep instead of a benz at 17... not spoiled because I mean ... it's only a jeep.

BTW 2 fed families can easily make $300K a year. SMFH
