[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]^^  I think I left out a sentence in my post, which might make it confusing but I think you can get the gist of what I'm saying. [/quote]

I get what you’re saying. I literally didn’t know any better. We lived in Alexandria and decided when our oldest started school we would move closer to my job and also where the schools had higher rankings. I had no idea she would be the only black kid. I thought it would be diverse like Alexandria. We didn’t even check the demographics. We didn’t even think all white neighbors existed in an area like this. We have considered moving several times, but now she has friends to a certain extent. I’m hesitant to rip her out and this housing market is terrible. My husband has a good commute. I’ve searched everywhere ❤️. Like where does one even go?

We looked at Woodbridge but then you gotta hope for the lottery for the charter schools or do private.

I would love some advice. I’m heart broken everyday. Like she has found some good friends and distanced herself from others—. But I worry about stupid stuff or is it stupid.  I always had self esteem issues and I really try to build her up. She is a beautiful girl and that’s not important—my point is she is starting to have crushes and the only options are of white boys. They don’t like her back. It sounds so stupid to some, but I don’t want her growing up feeling less than. Like I’m glad boys don’t notice her, but the message it send her is heartbreaking. If that makes sense. It’s not important, but it does something to little black girls self esteem.[/quote]  This makes me sad and I really do understand how you feel. I live in DC so I know nothing about VA schools.  I hope someone else has some good suggestions for you. [/quote]

Sending you love OP. Non-black POC mom here and I have so much empathy for those fears/the hurt of a child feeling excluded.[/quote]
