[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I have heard many W parents say this. It's ironic, given that W schools are also among the least diverse in the county, assuming one counts Asians as not diverse, because Poolesville is one third Asian. I think there is a classism element to this criticism. There is a misperception of Poolesville as a community being a backward redneck place, but somehow it's OK to segregate yourself in Bethesda or Chevy Chase with other UMC white people. Poolesville has a lot of well educated families working in MoCo and the 270 tech corridor, people with Ph.D.s, etc.[/quote]

Poolesville is technically more affluent than Bethesda. It has a median household income of $180,524, and Bethesda is $164,142. In my experience, W families just don’t want to admit that there is a school in upcounty that can be just as good as their school. [/quote]

Nope. Not that. We spent many hours out that way. Horseback riding. [b]The local community is white as they come and Trumpy. Conspiracies all over the place. Problems with racism at the school still. [/b]

While the Magnet part is good, not worth sitting on the bus or long drive. Yes, the stats have improved, would not send my kids there. [/quote]

You know all this from....horseback riding?  Were you riding up to the school and observing through the windows?[/quote]

Nah.[/quote]
