[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]OP, you are correct.  Those schools are very heavily chinese first generation immigrants, along with the other Wootton feeder schools (Travilah, etc).

Everyone is polite and friendly, but if you desire a sense of "community" where families hang out together, you won't get it as much at these schools.

If you go closer into Potomac, at a school such as Wayside, the demographics are a little more even there.  Still very heavily asian with a large jewish population as well.

For the true "community" experience, you will have to move into bethesda, or if that is out of your budget, somewhere such as Rachel Carson ES or Jones Lane ES in 20878.[/quote]

Come on, many of those other Bethesda or Potomac neighborhoods are heavily white and if you're Asian no you probably won't find that "community" there either. You can tell just by looking at the elementary sports teams at those schools which are parent-formed and they are almost exclusively white. We know a child who is Chinese-American and asked for years if he could be on one of the teams and was always told they were full even when new white kids came on the team all the time. [/quote]
