[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]If you’re white, Ross is a good school. There is very little cultural diversity and the majority of the white families are racist and have anti-black sentiments. A friend of mine sent his kid to Ross and the white parents refused to let their kids play with that little boy because he is black. [/quote]

Calling bullsh*t on this.

Ross/Dupont is one of the most progressive areas in the city.

I walk by the school everyday and see kids of all races playing together.

Yeah I'm a non-white person and I've only felt accepted.

The school does have a notably low at-risk population, like around 5 percent.

But the other families fall in a range, it's a dense neighborhood with lots of condo/apartment dwellers in addition to huge townhouse dwellers, so feels relatively down to earth.[/quote]

And not to be dismissive at all of PP’s friend’s experience, but this is largely our experience with the Ross community. I will say if a kid enters at a middle/upper elementary level, it absolutely seems bit tougher to crack socially given how tight knit it is. Regardless of the child. I think Ross parents would agree with that. But if it’s a birthday party and the class is invited, no one is being excluded, whether you’ve been there since PK or joined in 3rd. [/quote]
