[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]OP here- we have not signed the lease, thankfully. It looks like someone did a very nice remodel on the house we were looking to rent so it made it very appealing. Large yard for our two dogs, garage, etc. But with the comments on this thread, we’ll probably be looking elsewhere.[/quote]

You may want to try an experiment, OP. Find a school where the majority of kids look like your son. Ask this board what people think of the school. Then ask yourself if this is really the best echo chamber to ask about schools that are majority kids of color. [/quote]

My child IS a POC. I would love him to go to a school of all backgrounds.  [b]Just don’t want him to be one of few in the entire school who speaks English.[/b] I am from San Diego, I know how it is at schools with majority ESL kids, and my son would not fit in that’s a guarantee. Talk about a shock as a fourth grader who is an only child moving to a place he knows no one, then putting him in a school where he would be hard pressed to find other kids speaking English at recess.[/quote]

OP, in Montgomery County, most elementary-school-aged children of immigrants from Spanish-speaking countries speak English. (Just like my child-of-immigrants grandfather spoke English.) In fact, most were born in the US.

DCUM is a [i]terrible[/i] place to ask for advice about majority Black/immigrant schools. The teacher's response was good. Everybody else's should be thrown out - including mine.[/quote]
