[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Am I reading the article correctly - HoCo decides what school a neighborhood will go to depending on the price of the homes there? [quote]The bus rides to Atholton [low FARMS rate] are among the longest despite the school being located in an area with plenty of residential density,[b] although many of the residents closer to Atholton High School are not wealthy enough to attend it. As developers add residential housing, neighborhoods are re-assigned to the respective school district depending on the value of the property.[/b]. Each year that goes by, and with each redistricting process, the segregation by income becomes more severe. Race also plays a part in deciding who lives where, and which school they attend. [/quote] Wow, I'm glad we decided against HoCo. And I'm Asian American. That's horrible.[/quote] I would also like clarification on this.[/quote]
