[quote=Anonymous]OP, I went to elementary and middle school in a small Midwestern town and high school in a medium sized Midwestern college town. There were no children of color in my elementary school. In middle school, there were 3 black kids. My high school was demographically very different, but the town was extremely segregated.

I never went to a "Janney" and because we live east of the park, my child will not go to a "Janney" either. Instead, I am sending her to a neighborhood school that is not desirable right now but has some exciting change on the horizon. She is 4, so I am planning to be an active part of the positive change that will turn this school into a school we will be comfortable remaining for the long term. Middle and high school are still an open question. I am hoping that meaningful change happens to the middle and high schools in DC before I have to make any huge decisions about it.

I would strongly encourage you to get to know the schools right now. Look at your neighborhood school and see what you can find out about what is planned for it in the next couple of years (I assume your child is a baby).

Additionally, if you posted what school it is, many people on this board could likely give you some insight about it. [/quote]
