What neighborhood would you recommend to escape these problems?

Oh we left the county.

I assume not to HoCo since they go through boundary assessment every few years, and includes diversity in their assessment, just like MoCo.

I also assume not FCPS because they have the same "diversity" criteria in their boundary analysis that MoCo does.

So, where did you move to that has great schools but the BoE doesn't look at diversity when drawing boundaries?

MoCo doesn't just "look at" diversity when drawing boundaries. The MoCo Board of Ed instituted a new policy a few years that prioritizes diversity as the #1 priority over all other elements (like proximity and stability of school assignment).

False. In each of the boundary studies completed since the policy was revised, other factors have been given priority over diversity.

+1 every boundary option they chose in the end had some balance. They didn't choose the option where diversity was the #1 factor.

So, again, I'm curious to know where the ^^PP moved to that has great schools but doesn't look at diversity in their boundary assessment.

I'm sure once the election is over, the BOE will go back to its radical ways and will actually follow its own policy of prioritizing diversity over all other factors, including stability of school assignments and proximity.

And I'm sure you're talking out of your a$$. I am not a huge fan of the BoE, or MoCo, btw. I voted for Blair. But, you're wrong on this.

And I'm still waiting for you or the ^^PP to tell us where they moved where the schools are good but they don't look at diversity .

No, you're wrong. I don't care which candidate for County Executive you voted for - it's irrelevant. What's relevant is that, unless parents mobilize on each individual boundary analysis that the BOE engages in, they will revert to complying with their own policy of prioritizing diversity over all other elements of the analysis. Stop trying to pretend that it's not their policy. It's up to parents to raise a stink and keep them in check like they did when the BOE wasted tons of time, money and trust in a county wide boundary study only to scrap it after they realized how out of touch they are with parents and county residents.

No, you're wrong. Stop spreading your delusions. If the BoE truly wanted diversity above all else, they wouldn't have chosen the option that they did for upcounty. There was a "better" option for diversity, but they didn't choose that because it went far against the other factors. Those are hardcore facts.

Still waiting for the PP to tell us where they moved to.

Gaithersburg High School won't be affected?

The CIP mentions Crown HS for Gaithersburg HS, Wootton HS, Quince Orchard HS, Richard Montgomery HS, and Northwest HS.

King Farm will all be at Gaithersburg. Guaranteed. It combines the HOA and neighborhood, brings in higher SES to Gaithersburg, decreases overcrowded RM, plus it is closer to Gaithersburg. No brainer.

Sell now before your real estate plummets.

"Guarantee" does not mean "I am certain that this will happen, based on what I saw in my crystal ball."

Nobody knows what will happen until it happens, and that's the reality.

I think everybody realizes this is the best case scenario to increase G high income levels and decrease numbers to RM who is over capacity, whose highest ES is College Gardens. They can’t touch Fallsgrove since it would make Ritchie Park below capacity by too much and splitting it would just cause the same rift as King Farm. I agree with PP

They don’t have to change ES boundaries but just change HS boundaries. Falls grove is right across the street of crown.

+1 split articuation currently exists in Wootton boundaries and others.

FG would continue to RP, then JW for MS, then Crown for HS.

And yes, high chance CGES will also get moved to G or Crown for HS only. I can't see that area staying with RMHS.

They have not done that. All four factors have been evaluated, and more often than not, other factors have taken precedence over diversity.

Stop spreading facts! It makes it difficult to sew fear with misinformation about these emotional issues!

I hate this repeated lie. They didn’t chose the most radical option, the chose the second most radical one.

They seem to enjoy spreading misinformation to confuse people and turn molehills into mountains. Nevertheless, you are correct and the earlier poster is simply trying to spin a false narrative.
