[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Not to be racist, seriously curious. Looking into a few elementary schools in the Churchill/Wootton high school clusters for DD to start kindergarten in the fall. Are these schools with an exceptionally high asian population any different/have a different atmosphere from an elementary school with few asians? Are these schools more competitive in the classroom? Thanks. Examples of these schools: Wayside, Cold Spring, Lakewood, Stone Mill, and Travilah). [/quote]

To go back to the original question those are all excellent schools. You really couldn't go wrong and your DD would have a great, high-achieving peer group. I don't know what you mean by "competitive" in the classroom but there are more kids able to handle higher level material probably because many parents are very vested in their kids' education. It's not just about Asians. Some of these schools have a high percentage of Russian immigrant parents, many with Ph.Ds, and similar from parts of Eastern Europe. There are more children at these high immigrant schools that do after schooling than in some equally wealthy areas that are filled with more non immigrants. [/quote]
