[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Op seriously- you are going to sign for a new build in a planned community in  Loudoun. 
 You will be happy because the school will only pull from your community of peers.
[b]FCPS is diverse[/b] and you don’t even mention which school in it you have  to compare with.  
ENjoy your new home![/quote]

You must be one of those Dems who don't consider Asians to be "real" minorities.

You can stay in FCPS, thanks.   [/quote]

The school currently zoned for Hartland (yes, this will change when new schools open), Madison's Trust, is highly rated. However, as far as diversity goes, it's 45% Asian (the vast majority of that being South Asian, specifically Indian or Pakistani), 37% white, 7% Hispanic, 5% two or more races, 4% Black, 2% Native American...and 4% low-income. It's diverse in the sense that if you look at the kids waiting for the bus, they vary in skin tone. Does that count as "real" diversity? It's better than no diversity or very little, but if diversity is super important and a high priority for determining where you live, you might not be so thrilled. My kids are in another Aldie elementary school with nearly identical stats and they are neither South Asian nor white. I'm glad they aren't the "only" of any demographic even if they are a minority, but the lack of socioeconomic diversity is problematic. Nonetheless, it is part of the deal when you buy a now $1.5M new build in a planned community in Loudoun.[/quote]
