[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]It’s the whitest, wealthiest ES in Arlington.  There are PTA events at the country club.  If you are a family of color, your kids may not meet any classmates who look like them.[/quote]

Your tone suggests that these are negatives. [/quote]

They are negatives.[/quote]

Maybe to you. Most reasonable people would consider those features, not a bug. It is a very good school, in part because of those reasons.[/quote]

This poster has to be a troll.  [/quote]

Why would I be a troll? My children went through Jamestown. I am genuinely offended at your disparagement of it for such trivial reasons. You truly should be ashamed of yourself.[/quote]

Nobody disparaged you.  Not everyone will find their people there because it’s highly segregated.  It can have many good qualities but that’s a big issue for a lot of people. Adults can have these kinds of conversations without everyone taking offense.  The people leaving for private school are even going to more diverse schools than Jamestown.  That’s pretty exceptional.[/quote]
