[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]My white-asian kid went to WJ. Personally, coming from Europe, we didn't care at all what the high school racial make-up was. We cared about school achievement and safety. If you care about those too, I wouldn't choose Blair, because outside the magnet, it's not very good. Same thing for RM. The others are great.

Due to previous redlining and de-facto segregation, wealthy neighborhoods tend to have fewer Blacks and Hispanics, and lower-income neighborhoods tend to have more. There are many different nationalities enrolled everywhere, but you may not see them on paper, since they're all lumped into "white". And since we're in the suburbs of the DC area, everyone here is pretty liberal and your Middle-Eastern kids won't be out of place anywhere. We live on a street in Bethesda that had residents from Scandinavian countries and the Middle East, as well as from Asia. Lots of Americans here work with foreigners from the NIH, the World Bank, the Embassies, etc. No worries, OP!

If you really want more socio-economic diversity but in a nice area, your best bet is BCC in downtown Bethesda.[/quote]

Blair is a fine school and has a lot to offer. Same with RM. But many people like you have blinders on and cannot see past the test scores. [/quote]
