[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]One of the challenges here is that OP is looking for small class sizes and Black leadership/teachers, but also focusing on the more wealthy parts of the county.

The higher needs the school, the smaller the class sizes.

Also, MCPS tends to (not exclusively, but tends to) place Black administrators in majority Black schools, for exactly the reason that OP mentions - so that kids have leadership who looks like them. Those Black principals sometimes (and sometimes not) prioritize hiring diverse teachers.

So, both of the things that OP lists are actually easier to find outside the geographic zone being targeted.

OP here-- this makes sense ...thanks for breaking this down. So what about Silver Spring... any thoughts? [/quote]

DP, but Oakland Terrace’s principal is a Black woman (and a phenomenal principal), and the school itself is diverse.  It’s Focus so the class sizes are smaller, and there’s a mix of highly educated parents to more blue collar.  We really like it.[/quote]
