[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]OP again.  I was REALLY hoping this thread wouldn't turn into one about race (which is why I didn't disclose mine in my original post).  But since it obviously has, here it goes:

DH and I want to send our kids to a top school that is both high performing and diverse (yes, for us personally, "diverse" means a fair % of AAs).  We've taken a look at a lot of the NoVA pyramids and can't really seem to find anything that fits the bill.  (Please enlighten us if you know of one.)  So that led us to privates, which -- quite intentionally -- have better numbers.  Then we were thinking, if we're sending them to private school in NW, and I work downtown (DH works near Tyson's), why don't we just move back to DC and call it a day.

We're good on the diverse friends front, so that's not an issue.  The concern is rooted in schools.

If you have anything to contribute with that in mind, great.  But please, spare me the race relations lectures.  Thanks!  :) [/quote]

I know the assumption here has been that anyone making this move would go private (and it sounds like you intend to, OP), but at least consider Murch district. Check out the school demographics--60% white, 20% black, 12% Latino, 8% Asian. Students from 30+ countries. Socio-economic diversity, too, because of mixed housing stock. It's about as diverse as things get in DC. We love it.[/quote]
