[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Take a look at Louise Archer in Vienna.  There is a smallish AA population in the school, but the school as a whole is very diverse.  Your child definitely will not be sitting in class with all white kids.  It is also a very welcoming school in general.  Some of my (super white) DS's best friends are AA, from the Middle East, and Asian.  Best of luck to you OP.[/quote]

Except for a small handful of schools in McLean and Great Falls, children in ANY Fairfax County school will not be sitting in class with all white kids.  There are only 18 AA students in all of Louise Archer and very little socio-economic diversity.     [/quote]

Wrong.  Not one of the five whitest elementary schools is FCPS is in McLean or Great Falls.

Waynewood (Alexandria) 86.6%
Wolftrap (Vienna) 71.3%
Vienna (Vienna) 70.9%
Fairview (Fairfax Station) 69.7%
Flint Hill (Vienna) 69.5%

Cooper MS in McLean has the highest percentage of white students (70.6%), but only because it sends so many Asian kids who live in Great Falls and McLean to the Kilmer and Longfellow AAP programs.  The whitest high school is Madison HS in Vienna (68.1%).

True. And those aren't even the five "whitest elementary schools" in FCPS. According to the school profiles, there is at least one in Springfield with a higher percentage than Flint Hill, Fairvew and Vienna.[/quote]
