[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote]I can understand her wanting her child to have some school friends who are Jewish. But what she said was,"not sure I prefer a school that is more than half hispanic." That is not a comment about the families she wants int eh school. It is a comment about who she doesn't want.[/quote]

Possibly but the demographic trend changes in MoCo are surprising. The MCPS hispanic population increased by what 30% while the white (inclusive of Jewish) population decreased by 20%. This has been far from uniform across the schools. Schools like Wheaton have seen a steady increase in hispanic students and decrease in white students. Schools in Potomac, Bethesda, North Potomac and parts of Rockville have seen increases in asian students rather than hispanic students and the white inclusive of Jewish population has also grown.

So if OP's kids are younger and she wants than to have fair amount of Jewish peers then looking at a school with a primarily non-Jewish demographic that is trending upward fast while the Jewish demographic is declining isn't the best gamble. [/quote]

OP's posts were in 2017.[/quote]
