[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Frederick isn't the 1 cow town it used to be. I'd move there in a heartbeat if I could.[/quote]

Having minority children, I would only be comfortable sending my kids to Urbana HS. You would be shocked to hear what I've heard from friends who have made the move to other Frederick schools.  [/quote]

Having moved from MoCo to FredCo, the lack of diversity is real.

That said, I've encountered more biracial families here than in MoCo, and see more diverse friend groups than in MoCo.

Where we lived in MoCo, it was diverse and segregated at the same time.  On paper, the HS looked incredibly diverse.  But in practice, each cultural/racial group sort of kept to themselves.

So here, in FredCo, even though the percentages on diversity dont look as good as some MoCo schools, it does seem like kids are more likely to have friends across races[/quote]
that's because they have no choice.

My nonwhite nieces went to a very majority white school. Guess who they made friends with.. yep, white kids.  But they also got some racist taunts thrown at them, too.

They eventually moved to a city that had more people of their own race and were much happier there.[/quote]

Yeah, I wasn't saying it was better or worse tbh.

But I'm not sure going to a diverse but segregated HS is really any better.

(BTW, I'm white, but my children are biracial).  I'm glad they get a little bit more exposure even if its really bc they have no other choice[/quote]
