Starr chooses Burning Tree

[Anonymous]

I asked him. He said his wife had one friend in Montgomery County who sent her kids to Burning Tree, and she wanted to live near her friend. That makes sense to me.

What concerns me more is how he keeps going around talking about how great the system is. And his goal is to maintain it. He has a lot to learn!

not about FARMs and Schools at a Glance - about OP's being "in the know" as to where Starr is moving/sending his kids

Choose the school with the 4% FARMS rate and all that goes with it. The school that trumpets its "no labels" approach -- easy because all the kids are "above average."

If he'd even chosen Kensington or some neighborhood that even borders on true middle class, it would be a better sign.

The FARMS info and other data are on the "school at a glance" page on the MCPS website.
