[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]We also really like the Richard Montgomery cluster...lots of cultural diversity. My older elementary kids typically have had 1-2 kids of S. Asian origin in their classes. If you're looking for a higher number of S. Asian families, I think Potomac/N. Potomac have a higher concentration of S. Asians. We've been very happy with the diversity of the RM cluster!

Their are many people teaching S. Asian arts up and down the 270 corridor and in Montgomery County. Not quite like Ashburn but still plentiful![/quote]

Good to hear that there are 1-2 kids of South Asian origin in each class. I was not familiar with Ashburn and after seeing it mentioned in this thread earlier, I did some digging. We are not looking for Ashburn's level of concentration to be honest, that's too high a concentration and i am not sure it's it's even beneficial for our kids.

It looks like RM cluster is diverse. Any specific ES school feedback in RM? We don't know much about any schools.[/quote]

Bayard Rustin is brand new, opening this fall to relieve overcrowding in the other 4 schools, and it will house the Chinese Immersion program. Ritchie Park, Beall, and College Gardens are well regarded, in nice neighborhoods, and have relatively similar cultural diversity. Of these three, College Gardens is the only one that's a IB PYP school. https://www.ibo.org/programmes/primary-years-programme/

The fourth school is Twinbrook. It also has a nice neighborhood feel but is different from the other schools in that it has a higher FARMS (free and reduced meals) and ESOL percentage. It is also a Title 1 school, so class sizes are smaller.

To get a general idea of a school, you can always search for: MCPS at a glance "name of school" for info on student population, race/ethnicity demographics, FARMS, ESOL, etc.
