[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]That zipcode goes mostly to very diverse high schools. 
IME race has not made a difference for playdates and was not really anything that came up in elementary for myself or the kids. Once kids get into HS as PP pointed out it's more of a discussion when they take U.S. history and talk about current events. It is nice not to be the "lone" anything in a class when that happens but that would not be an issue at QO or Gaithersburg HS.[/quote]
My spouse is African American. We picked QO cluster because of it’s almost equal parts of each major ethnic group. There has been no racial issues whatsoever, unlike how I grew up, and I like how they have friends from all cultures. My kids have never been bullied. QO has a good segment of high performers and good number of AP classes, nice kids, good sports. It’s an all-American feel. In MS and ES you may want to help with enrichment, but that’s true no matter which school you’re at. People tend to be down to earth.[/quote]
