Best School District for Minority Families
Looking for recommendations on areas in Cook County (NOT including Chicago, Oak Park, or Park Forest) with good schools for young children. I have one starting Kindergarten and another starting Second Grade. I liked the Flossmoor/Homewood area but there don't seem to be many rentals becoming available. I am looking at Evanston, but heard a lot about the districts recently. Unfortunately it seems to be the only option with availabilities meeting my budget (I am using section 8). I'm hoping maybe I'm missing an area. My kids are Black/African American and my oldest has been going to a majority Caucasian school. It's been okay, but there is some discrimination, and just overall damage to her self esteem with no one looking like her and making her feel bad for not looking like them. This rental market has been awful but I'm hoping I'm missing something!
