Fairfax City? 22030? There are exactly two Black kids in my child's very large elementary school. I don't see other Black families in town at all. I'm so confused. Plenty of Asian and Hispanic people but ot Black.[/quote]

You obviously don't actually live here. There are way more than 2 Black children at both DRES and Providence ES.[/quote]

I live in the City, however I'm not black.   There are definitely more than two Black children at Providence.  I know there are more than that at SACC alone our head SACC teacher is black and is wonderful and very loved by students and parents. We have a Black AP who has been at Providence for at least the 6 years I've had children at the school.  We have black teachers, not a lot but we have them, hopefully we will get more in the future.  The school is diverse in general, children of many races and ethnicities, also we have a lot of economic diversity that is not often seen in Fairfax County.   I also know of a number of  mixed Black/White families. Providence is a great school.

There are a ton of younger families in the city. Yes there are some folks of a different generation who don't want change, but their numbers are declining.  We have a  city school board that if you contact them they will respond. Our school board is all moms, all have kids in City schools, although one might have had there last child graduate last year. Our city council while not racially very diverse,  has women, a Mason student and a senior citizen. We have a female progressive Mayor. [/quote]
