[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]OP here - thank you for your response.  Agree about looking for diverse neighborhoods and looking at the school demographics, which we will do.   In our personal experience, some schools may be essentially "segregated" across, say cultural or ethnic lines, etc. and we are wondering about schools that are at least somewhat or very successful at bridging gaps.

Great question but I don't have a good answer for you. FCPS is a huge district with lots of high schools. Depends on the type of racial diversity your looking for. For example Lee will have many Latinos while Chantilly quite a few Asians. Maybe Robinson or West Springfield if your looking for a more even mix of groups? Probably not WT Woodson or Lake Braddock.

Lee is 25% Asian and 30% Hispanic vs. 24% Asian and 13% Hispanic at Chantilly.

Many schools in Fairfax are very diverse, with no single ethnic or racial group a majority (Annandale, Centreville, Edison, Fairfax, Falls Church, Hayfield, Herndon, Lee, Mount Vernon, South Lakes, Stuart, West Potomac and Westfield).  Most of the schools that are majority-white (Chantilly, Lake Braddock, Langley, Madison, Marshall, McLean, Oakton, Robinson, South County, West Springfield and Woodson) have significant minority populations and/or a substantial number of Middle Eastern students included among the white students.
