We didn’t fill out race box in profile and have Anglo-sounding name. (Most others I have met with this last name are white). But in reality,  DC has been working 2 or 3 grades ahead in most subjects and outperforms kids in top private. Perhaps my child is a unicorn, but I doubt it given the extremely bright, hardworking families  I meet every day. I this area you can fill classrooms with a diverse group of gifted students without lowering standard.

We were thinking of public for economic reasons and naively believed that DC could find bright friends from varying SES backgrounds.  These threads make me very concerned about the mentality of families in  Montgomery County.

Don’t assume until you have all the data.

I'm so sorry. This thread has made me nauseous, and I'm not from an URM group. I was thinking to myself how disheartening it would be for a parent of a child who is URM and accepted to magnets to read this thread. I can't even imagine the mixed feelings when your child has accomplished so much, and there's still so much bullshit surrounding it.[/quote]
