[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I believe the magnet programs have in large part caused further divide in the MCPS school system. When you bus gifted children from all school districts to another school...naturally, the original school district where those children would have made a positive impact are no longer there. All that is left are the second tier students whom in the end pull down not only test scores for the school but also college admissions rankings. The end result is that schools like Paint Branch High school, Sherwood HS, etc ... are now in communities that NOBODY want to move to. It is like a snow ball effect on these communities...school goes downhill, new families stop moving there, the older generations cannot sell their houses, housing prices plummet, low income families move in, and the cycle keeps going on and on...[/quote] no one wants to move to sherwood??? what are you talking about[/quote]
