[quote=Anonymous][quote]Wait. My kids live in the DCC but I have to ask how a school like Wooton which is 45% white and 55% non-white is considered a "segregated" school.[/quote]

This X100. Wootton is very mixed racially, ethnically, religiously and every other category except economic and education. The housing is from 300K for a smaller TH up to 1 M for a large house. It lacks the subsidized housing and poverty that you see in Silver Spring and the multi million dollar mansions you see in Potomac. The area has the highest concentration of PHds so you have scientists and doctors making govt salaries not millions.

In many ways, this type of diversity/commonality is better for young kids to NOT build racial stereotypes. DD's AA BF lives in a house bigger than hers. Perfectly normal experience in Wootton while in Silver Spring the chances are more likely that the AA kids live in the poorer sections. Whites aren't always on top for scores and grades at Wootton, can't say the same in Silver Spring. [/quote]
