[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]If public school is important, then scratch SS off your list period.  And I am born and raised from SS.  It's a shit hole.  Don't listen to all of the hippy posters on here who talk about how diverse or international or wonderful or la la la it is.  It's not.  Move farther west in Montgomery County if a decent school is important to you.[/quote]

FYI, for "decent" read "white" or "affluent," because that's what this poster means. This is actually one of her less offensive posts.[/quote]

Not true.  Don't talk about what you don't know about.  I am from SS.  Enough said.  And btw, DD's school isn't even 1/2 white.  But it's got excellent scores - 90th percentiles, 9/10 greatschools etc.  Why is everything about race to you?  Oh I know, probably because you aren't from a very diverse area originally so it's fascinating to bring up race all the time even though it's very tacky.[/quote]

Okay, now tell me where are the diverse middle and high schools with 9 and 10's in Montgomery County?  There are plenty at the elementary level, but not at the middle and high school levels.  [/quote]

We left MoCo because of the schools and taxes.  I am in Fairfax.  But there is a hell of a lot of diversity all over the DC area.  Even in Potomac there must be.  I looked up the SDAT (property tax/owner listings) at that address in Potomac where that lady ran over her kid a few months ago, and I don't recall a single white person name on the whole street.  My AA ex-BF is from Potomac too.  Surely nobody has to give up diversity in exchange for a wonderful school in the DC area.  Just pick the wonderful school.[/quote]
