[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]One of the problems with Jones Lane, is the PTA. It's run by a few moms (all white) who have a habit of not involving other moms that they don't like into the PTA. The moms they usually don't like are non whte moms, i.e. Asian and Hispanic. This results in a very cliquey and non inclusive feeling for other parents who want to get involved but can't bc of these moms.[/quote]

DP here. This is what we hesitated about this school when we were looking in the QO area. We came from a diverse school in MOCO and while looking in the QO neighborhood a couple of years ago, we noticed that there were a lot of white families. Nothing wrong with that but it just seemed out of the ordinary considering that we live in such a diverse county and something I wasn't used to coming from the previous school.   I'm Asian by the way, and my kids are half white. That said I heard it was a great school and we would've probably bought there had we found the right house, but I'm not gonna lie, this aspect of the school would've slightly made me uncomfortable. Maybe I would've gotten over that feeling at some point.[/quote]
