[quote=Anonymous]So keeping in mind that I'm someone who actually really appreciates the high %age of Asians in the area ...

I'm a second generation Chinese parent of a child at Lakewood. I also grew up in the area and went to Wootton. My kids are mixed. My son loves it at Lakewood and doesn't seem to have any issues socially. There are A LOT of mixed Chinese families here, so being excluded doesn't really seem to be an issue? (And people fall all over themselves fawning over my toddler, who speaks perfect Mandarin. She attends a local Mandarin immersion daycare.)

CCACC (a Chinese community program) runs an afterschool program nearby, and there's a bus that takes the kids from Lakewood to CCACC. CCACC is open to everyone of all races, but it seems like most of the people there are Chinese. My son has lots of friends from different schools because of CCACC.

Academically? My family is actually quite relaxed. I don't really see academic intensity as being a concern, at least not at the elementary level. (I do remember my years at Wootton being intense, but that was self-driven.)[/quote]
