[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]We are looking at DC/MD areas to purchase a home and with a good school system for my son. Several people have suggested Takoma Park and rave about the ES there. [b]One thing that I have noticed is that there isn't much racial diversity within certain SES except transracial adoptions. [/b]I have been to many birthday parties, shop the Co-Op, friends, do the halloween thing, belong to the listserve, etc. Much of the diversity seems to be from the apartments and perimeter neighborhoods feeding into the area. Has anyone else noticed this, experienced this, and what are your thoughts on it. It's so hard to access a situation like this since the data from the schools don't tell a true picture. [/quote]

Ha- this feels like an SNL skit in the making.[/quote]

Yeah, but that doesn't mean it's not kinda true.[/quote]

I don't think its true. Are we saying there are no wealthy families of color?  Not true at all.  Perhaps in that particularly elem school - but in this area as a whole - there are wealthy families of all colors and ethnicities.[/quote]
