[quote=Anonymous]Please go visit Walker Jones and make an informed decision.  I can share my perspective fwiw.  Our family is AA, doctor-lawyer couple.  Until first DD was 3 we lived at CityVista (bought prior to kids, not thinking about school boundaries at all).  Before entering DD1 in the 2011 lottery I visited a slew of schools - every Spanish immersion program available, every Capitol Hill school, Community Academy, Charter School Fair, Thompson , etc and also Walker Jones.  In ll honesty, WJ was the only school I would never send my child to.  Nothing to do with demographics o Racism -- I have no problem with a majority AA preschool setting for my kids.  Rather, I was extremely concerned with (1) the lack of parental involvement (I was the only parent at one open house) and (2) the concept of mixed age, child driven classrooms including multiple kids the autiism spectrum (in a School where the administrators I encountered could not or would not address my concern of how this kind of mainstreaming into a nontraditional (Reggio)  setting would be managed effectively and safely for all the children.
