[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Money was no factor for us, and I suspect for most of our neighbors(town of cc). We went public because it is an excellent school, and I wanted our kids to benefit from diversity and have friends in the hood. As for large class sizes, evidence suggests quality of teachers is most important. I have found the teachers at rhps to be excellent.[/quote]

Tell us about the diversity in the town of Chevy Chase, where most of your neighbors can swing $60-90k every year for tuition. What kind of diversity is present in CC elemtary that is not found in, for example, Maret?[/quote]

Let me guess, could it be you don't know what the fuck you are talking about? RHPS is 20 percent farms, what percentage of Maret need free/reduced price meals?[/quote]

I'm well aware that you'll be leaving RHES and heading over to CCES in 3rd grade.  Tell us about all the economic diversity there. Oh wait.

Without pulling up the data on every private school,'I'd venture a guess that Beauvoir and the like probably also have more black and Hispanic students than CCES.   I know gds and Sidwell do

Do enjoy your 3 years over there mingling outside the Town!

NP here. So you think no minorities can afford Bethesda-Chevy Chase - nice. Also, you need to take a stroll over to the private school forum, where someone posted just today that most of the AA families at Sidwell-Beauvoir are full pay.

What you keep missing is SES diversity. What you see at the privates - and my kids attended an area private -- is the barbell affect. Some kids get FA, even fewer kids get 100% FA (these are the kids who would be getting FARMS in MoCo) and a lot of kids come from families with HHI > $300K. Very few families in the middle.[/quote]

"B-CC" isn't synonymous with "Chevy chase Elementary School," which is where PPs kids are going to go to school next. Where there are no low income kids and just a handful of AAs and Latin Americans.

So it's very rich that she is choosing her public school because it's diverse.

Don't bother arguing; I live here too, you'll not convince me that this SFH neighborhood / school is anything but homogenous.  [/quote]
