        I would recommend that you look at Maryland rather than VA. Maryland has larger black and Jewish populations in its close-in suburbs, and is more traditionally friendly to both groups. You don't say where you work in DC, but many parts of Maryland are on the subway line. MoCo has excellent schools, and more private schools than NOVA, if that's the route you prefer.

This tired advice is about 50 years old, OP.

This "tired advice" is coming from someone who has lived in both MoCo and NOVA. I wasn't even alive 50 years ago.

Why hang around a VA public schools forum? Troll

Because I live in NOVA! I used to live in Moco. But after the news of the last year or two, with Charlottesville, and the organizers of that march being from Fairfax and Alexandria, the blackface incident with the Gov and others, I would move to Moco if I were moving here now.

Give me a break with this! Charlottesville had people from all over the country attend. And a white woman from VA lost her life fighting these racist a-holes. I understand your resistance, but let's not kid ourselves. Racist asses live everywhere. In MoCo right now, antisemitism is off the charts. It's a crazy time we live in.[/quote]

Yes, it is a crazy time. But this is my honest opinion, and I'm entitled to it. In the end, the OP will make their own decision.

You are entitled to your opinion.  But facts are facts.  MoCo may have a larger black community than NoVa, but MoCo is pretty segregated.  Tell the whites in the Whitman clusters that blacks from eastern MoCo are going to be bused to their schools and see what happens.  I highly doubt you're going to feel all warm and fuzzy after that reaction.  [/quote]
