The most segregated schools in Maryland are in .... Howard County

This isn't about race. It's about SES.

The author of the blog also prepared an interesting chart reflecting the number of stars under Maryland's new star rating for schools in relation to the percentage of FARMs students at each school. It shows that for the most part, that the number of stars correlated with a lower percentage of FARMs students.

This is unprovable and serves as a cover for parents, so they can say “it just HAPPENS to be that the schools I am most comfortable with have the fewest black and Hispanic kids.”

The way I see it, we live in a racist society. I’m a little racist, you’re a little racist. Anyone who says they’re not the least bit racist is not really examining themselves.

Why is why wealthy blacks will fight to segregate their kids from other blacks.

Ask the Obamas for insights about Chicago and DC public schools.

I forgot add that the county is not segregating by race. If you go to the statisticatlas links above for Howard County, take a look at the distribution of race across the county. You'll see that the races tend to distribute themselves in groups around the county. Caucasians are much more likely to buy in the western part of the county and the minorities have bigger clusters in different parts of the county.

HCPSS revisits the zoning for schools every 2 years. They prioritize trying to move groups from oversubscribed schools to under-subscribed schools trying to get each school as close to 100% optimal capacity. And they move neighborhoods, not races. If you want to see some of the proposed adjustments, take a look at this individuals web-site. Look at the original proposed map (the one in all green) and compare it with the demographic charts on statisticatlas. You'll see that adjusting for each school to be evenly populated concentrates various races in some schools just because of where they live..

This X100. School boundaries should be based on keeping neighborhoods together, kids close to home schools and having a sense of community. Its overreaching IMO for school systems to judge where people choose to live and try to remodel things by bussing kids far away. Its a losing exercise anyway. If you rezone wealthy areas into poorer areas and vice versa, you just change the monetary value of the properties. Wealthy people will migrate back to the more expensive properties and poor people will migrate back toward the more affordable ones and you'll be back where you started.

Howard is just being more rational and focusing on educating ALL its students.

Hmm. When you stick all your FARM kids within the same 5 schools, are you sure about that?

YEP. The Indians and Chinese minorities at my daughters blue ribbon hoco school probably are wealthier than the whites as a whole. Mostly doctors and tech types.

Look across the US in cities towns and rural areas there are upper middle and lower class areas and the schools reflect that period. No conspiracy going on here.

Classes are still segregated generally with richer, whiter and more asian kids along with Africans taking more advanced classes

and poorer more black (but not Africans) and Hispanic kids taking lower classes

all this is does is just reinforce stereotypes. Still want to integrate schools now?

Also have you ever been to an integrated school cafeteria, kids generally sit with whoever they have classes with and just like with human housing settlement patters you have segregation by table/neighborhood

I can't believe that in 2019, people are still saying that segregated schools are just fine.

Actually I can believe it, but it's depressing.

Yep, but I am not surprised.
HoCo is one of the areas that people who wished for a MoCo of 1970's move to.

Lol. Yeah, let's just ignore Bethesda, Potomac, CC, etc.

You’re too dumb to realize that you're making an ass out of yourself and showing your true colors.
"segregate their kids from other black kids"... "it's segregation from the poors". So the poors are the black kids.
Like I said, stop posting ignorant comments for your own sake. You're not too bright.
