[quote=Anonymous]We are looking for advice on Montgomery County pyramids, particularly elementary schools. We are a professionally, well-educated AA family and buying a home ($700 - 750k range) next year - work in Arlington and DC and would like to avoid an excessive commute. We are thinking Silver Spring but open to other recommendations. We would like advice on schools and understand assessing school quality is somewhat subjective. Our son will be entering 2nd grade this fall. We are looking for culturally diverse schools, with a culture of respect (from the top-down), academic enrichment, enthusiastic teachers and extracurricular activities. I understand this may make some people uncomfortable; however, we are looking for schools where my son won't be the only AA child in his class. I experienced that for 11 years in Catholic Schools and would like him to have a different experience. Race/ethnicity is definitely not the only factor - we want our son to value the importance of interacting with kids that may not look like him and come from homes with like-minded parents.

I don't want to turn this into a race debate and appreciate your honest feedback.

Thanks![/quote]
