[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]So let's get this straight, OP: you view a second middle school as a disadvantage because you think ESOL and FARMS rates would be high.  However, the highest FARMS rate in the BCC cluster is Rock Creek Forest Elementary at 23%.  So the MS, with NCCES and CCES would have a much lower FARMS rate.  That 23% rate is well below the average for MoCo.  You do understand that the current middle school is going to be severely overcrowded in the next few years even if 6th grades from 2 of the cluster elementaries are not moved there, right?  So you prefer that your kid be with more rich white kids in a severely overcrowded school vs. a bit more diversity at a school that has sufficient space for core facilities (cafeteria, lockers, gym) and a smaller total population, is that correct?  Your logic is lost on me.

Op here.

I can imagine it would be. 23% is not something I would worry about. Wherever DH got the number,  he said it was 78%. now the MoCo school sites aren't working, so I can't check it.

But yeah, 23% I'd view as totally fine. And actually what I thought BCC high would be.[/quote]

I'm not any having trouble accessing the site-here's the link:

The 3 schools that are expected to go to the new MS are Rock Creek Forest.  According to site, ESOL there is 15%, FARMS is 22%.  CCES has ESOL of 2.3, FARMS of 8.9.  NCCES has Esol of 3%, Farms 5.6.  If the Rock Creek Hills site is a go, that is in a very very nice neighborhood.  I wouldn't expect the overall ESOL/FARMS rates to get above the rates I've cited.  So there's no reason the 2nd middle school should mean you can't purchase a home in the cluster. [/quote]
