[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Wow...thank you so much for your honest feedback. I know that this can be a touchy subject for some but at the end of the day - its important to be honest. Yes, we are an AA family that are highly educated and want our son to blossom and be surrounded by (hopefully) other like-minded parents. Race/ethnicity is definitely not the only factor - obviously we are looking for enthusiastic teachers, high performing school, etc. but I'm just not comfortable with my son being the only AA in a class. However, I hate to say it but a lot of the predominantly AA schools are also low performing - so its a catch 22. I just want my little fella to be comfortable interacting with all walks of life and not feel out of place because he doesn't see anyone that looks like him in his class. [/quote]

FCPS touts its racial and cultural diversity, but is generally dominated by Hispanics and Asians.

OP, there are a lot of nice, middle-class, educated, AA families on my street. I live right behind a historic black baptist church that was founded by freed slaves in 1867.
