[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I'd recommend looking into Eaton. It has a lot of diversity, both racially & socio-economically, & very strong academics. We are a biracial family & have found it to be a warm, welcoming & inclusive environment.[/quote]

I agree with this.  As a mixed race family, the first thing I would look at, considering any school, is the demographic profile.  No way I would send my kids to predominantly black school.  Eaton's demographics mirror as closely as we would like to find for our family.   If you look at DCPS you can compare school profile pages easily.  If you do want a demographic profile that is not 80%+ white don't even bother looking at Janney, Key, Lafayette, Murch, or Mann.[/quote]

Sorry, my numbers are a bit inflated.  Should have looked at the profiles pages in more details before I posted. My point was trying to demonstrate that most of the upper NW schools are predominantly white, if you chose that for your child.  As you head south, but stay in upper NW you will find schools that are not as high % white.  Key and Mann are better than I expected, refreshingly so.  It's no wonder there isn't much chatter and mudslinging on this site about those schools, there are probably great places to send kids to school.  Or maybe they hide their baggage well.[/quote]
