Re: "suburban schools" meaning more rich white kids.

Greenwich is CRAZY diverse- it’s definitely more rich but Tech ($$) brings in a lot of diversity

Greenwich has a surprising number of poor migrant families, too. Their public schools are semi-diverse because so many white children from wealthy families go to private school.

You’re kidding, right? Greenwich schools are well under the CT state average for poor kids and minority kids. They like to point out how diverse they are, but you’re mostly going to school with other rich kids. If that’s diversity to you, have at it.

Diversity of race/ethnicity not pocket book
NoraClavicle t1_j2s16d7 wrote
As I said, not much of that either. Way below the state average in race/ethnicity diversity. Some Greenwich elementary schools have no Black students at all.

Go up north and Trumbull has a very well rated school system and is diverse income wise. A lot of parents that work for the stamford public school system at that government center *live and send their kids to Trumbull schools.

Choosing Trumbull is an economic decision, IMHO, for anyone who works in Stamford or NYC . It’s an ok town and your money goes far, but that commute will kill you.

Agreed. Stamford has problems recruiting teachers because it is expensive to live here. Some teachers commute from towns like Danbury, Bethel, or Trumbull, but many ultimately end up taking jobs closer to where they can afford to live.

Agree but was in response to u/chairsareforbears saying suburban schools = more rich while kids. So you are agreeing with what I said

I am neither agreeing nor disagreeing with you. Take care.
