OP here. The above reply was not from me. I want my kids around other conscientious college-bound kids. Kids who spend a lot of their free time studying and doing homework, volunteering, participating in music, etc. I don't care about color. [b]I'm also concerned about the class divide at the school - looking at the boundary, it's very much haves and have-nots - not much "middle". [/b][/quote]

OP - I am sorry, but you do sound elitist.  And also very naive.

How exactly do you reconcile wanting diversity with not wanting a "class divide"?  I suspect you really don't give a shit about diversity and (if you could actually afford it) would send your child to an all-white school, where everybody was wealthy.  Your kids sound like they would fit right in at the likes of Landon and Georgetown Prep.

Or perhaps you should just move out of this area.

If you don't realize the benefits of having your child educated in a "real world" environment, where people of difference ethnicities AND socio-economic environments attend the same school, then you really are not cut out for public school in this area (unless you reside in Great Falls or McLean).

Open your mind a little.  It may actually make your kids better human beings...[/quote]

OP again. I may be both of those things, but that does not make my concerns uncommon or unwarranted. And I am trying to open my mind, which is why I posted here. Sorry if I upset you![/quote]
