[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]It isn't a troll, it is genuine curiosity.

From what I gather, there is a small cohort in a large high school that does well but by and large, it seems that many of the children that are visible minorities may not have much success moving up socioeconomically.

Maybe I'm wrong hence my question but was wondering if there are areas that generally do well. I always hear about how bad things are becoming in MoCo or how bad schools in ACPS and eastern Fairfax can be... so I just wanted to have a conversation after the fact on outcomes.

Same as americans who have been here for hundreds of years.

I lived in a poor community, and had parents who worked hard--and I happened to be academically strong. I went to college on scholarships. parent's money, and loans, and am now a white collar professional. Most people in my community barely graduate high school, and are lucky if they go to trade school. I happen to be white, most  of the people I lived near happen to be black. Assume the same thing occurs with poorer immigrant communities as well. [/quote]
