[quote=Anonymous]I think it's stupid to choose a school based on race. However, in DC, I wouldn't send my kids to a school that is <1% white because, in DC, that means the majority of kids are low income. Being poor comes with a ton of challenges, and as a result, the student body at that school is going to have academic challenges. Peer groups matter in the classroom, particularly as kids get older. You can have the most amazing teachers in the world in those classrooms, but the academic environment is going to suffer. [/quote]
