[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Chevy Chase Elementary is about 20% Black and tons of high achieving kids who are Black there

CCES and NCC both have a number of middle class and UMC black families and those students tend to do well, similarly to their peers of other races with similar economic backgrounds. But there are also a lot of black students in the FARMS category those schools and their scores do lag quite a bit. All of this is to say OP’s child would absolutely have other high achieving black peers but it would not be all or even most of the black students at the school. [/quote]

This is a real concern, and it makes OP's question more complicated. There are a fair number of schools (ahemBCC) with relatively large Black student populations, but those kids are disproportionately from a handful of poor/working class neighborhoods. It means that white kids often assume that every Black kid is from those neighborhoods. It might not sound that bad to some, but the constant assumptions wear on a kid. [/quote]
