[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]The reality is Kennedy was a good school. The housing stock around Kennedy was nice and still is. The Glenmont apartments always housed a mix of minoritied but you had a 
Decent enough mix at Kennedy to have a decent school.

But around the mid 90s low an behold the metro came to glenmont and with it came the ghetto and now the apartments and surround area is undesirable. (Note: if you don't have kids it still has nice homes and a fairly safe place to live).

But back to Kenney and in the real world. Those who get the best education at the best schools have a track record of earning the best incomes so we don't have to live in "the ghetto".  So we move to the best location.

Why would I ever send my kids to a Kennedy to be with more 
Low income kids when I can send them to one of the top high schools in Potomac?  Less diversity? Sure.  Better education, you bet, better opportunities for success, yep. Better earning potential, yep.  That's life, that's reality, and the most important thing is developing future earning power for a successful life.

You totally missed pp's point.  Wanting the best for your kids will never be wrong.  people get into this mindset that they have to just settle for bad schools because its the right thing to do or something.  It doesn't make you a better person and it doesn't do any favors for your kids.  Get a grip.[/quote]
