I don't think it's a stretch to be worried that having your kid in an environment with a larger number of kids who perhaps are not as academically motivated will impact your child. [b]I want my kids to not only go to college, but be surrounded by as many students as possible with similar goals.[/b] Has nothing to do with skin color or ethnicity. And I would argue that MoCo schools are leaps and bounds ahead of most schools in this country when it comes to diversity. Yes, even the "W" schools are almost all only 50-60% white. I grew up in NJ, and my school was 100% white. There might be more minority students there now, but it is still very homogeneous. Same with New England and large swaths of the Mid-West. This idea that some schools here are "lily white" is ridiculous. My kids go to a middle school in a "W" cluster, and you look at a yearbook--it is highly diverse![/quote]

Really? I don't want my kids to grow up in such a small bubble. And I'm not worried that maybe, if they go to school with kids who don't go to college, they won't go to college either.[/quote]
