[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]We're in a W school and DD's friends are very diverse. If I go by her closest friend group and recent b-day party attendees they include 3 black, 4 asian, 1 middle eastern, and 2 white girls. One of the white girls is half asian. DS has a similar but not identical mix of friends. In comparison we've gone to two different parties in Silver Spring with old friends and almost all the kids/people there were white.

I think the races/cultures mix more in the W schools. It might be because there is no majority in some of the schools, the kids are all from similar highly educated families, and the SES is not at the extremes. [/quote]
 :roll: There is no majority in many of the Silver Spring schools either. Please don't make sweeping judgments about entire sides of the county based on a couple of birthday parties.
We are black, live in Silver Spring, and DD's friend group is very racially and ethnically diverse. But yes, most of her friends come from families like ours - highly educated professionals who work for government, non-profits or universities.[/quote]
