Tilden MS

It's over. Woodward and Tilden are not going to be as good as WJ and North Bethesda. They will be high FARMS. Don't try to tell me that's a good thing. It isn't

Nothing is over. If FARMS is the only measure you care about, under two current options Tilden numbers will even slightly improve (Woodward is different story). Only option 3 is catastrophic. And options will be modified. So this whole "earthquake is coming to Tilden zone" is very premature.

Today Tilden is not as good as North Bethesda but that disparity may not deepen at all.

Any boudary of Woodward will make it way worse than current WJ. Even WJ will be worse if something like option 3 is chosen.

not the PP you are replying, but that's the mian story to be honest.

Right now Tilden area kids attend 18% FARMS HS. They will be attending 35-45% FARMS. Earthquake is already there.

Look around what happens with high FARMS schools.

35-45% FARMS isn't high FARMS. It's at or slightly below average for MCPS.

County average has been going higher with time. Some time later even 60% won't be high because county will be at 80%.

It's doubling from current tilden HS.

Any new family looking to move, just move very close to Whitman or Churchill.

Just avoid WJ cluster. Too much uncertainty. Anyway, out of all bethesda options, Tilden has the worst situation. No point in moving to Tilden zoned area.

Yes, Woodward may end up with high FARMS, but even that is not certainty. For example, option 4 with modifications proposed on the other discussion would keep it around 25%. Earthquake is not given. Stay positive.

20% is tipping point on FARMS for decline in education outcomes. They need to modify to get Woodward at 20% range. Modify option 4 to send Viers Mill to WJ instead. Send GP to Woodward. It balances out enrollment. And alleviates Wheaton overcrowding. That's the solution.

Chatting here won't change it. What efforts are being base to consolidate a coherent proposal and written and oral presentation to BOE.

I went through this thread.

What is special about Tilden area to have problems. I meant, many other Middle schools are close and should have similar crowd.

Is it self selection of certain kind of families?

It is high FARMS. We’ve normalized high FARMS here.

MCPS has several middle schools with >70% FARMS.

35-40% is high FARMS for educational impact. FARMS kids do well when school is at 20$ or below FARMS.

Entire county used to be lower FARMS and it's gooing higher and higher. Just because county FARMS has been going up unchecked, we can's say that 35-40% is not high. 70% is very high FARMS. Yes, you can find something 90% and say that 70% is not very high.

When all said and done right now Tilden area attends a HS having FARMS of 18%. Going to 35-40% is more than doubling it and crossing the threashold where it will start having impact.
