[quote=Anonymous]Honestly, even the higher FARMS rate is pretty low.  You can't assume that every kid who falls under FARMS will be disruptive and have low parental involvement.

I have experience in two different MCPS ES, one with a higher FARMS rate in Silver Spring (much higher than 22%)  and one with a lower rate in CC.  Honestly, there's no difference in disruptive behavior.  In each grade, there were a handful of kids who were disruptive, in each case because of an underlying issue like a learning disability.

I have heard many parents from the western side of MoCo that say they want diversity but what they really mean is people of all races with a college education and a high HHI.  That's not really what diversity means.  It also doesn't mean a school with a 40% FARMS rate that's 80% minority.  Seems to me that what you will have is ideal.

What determines the outcome is the principal and teachers, for the most part.  You wanted diversity -- you got diversity.  It's a good thing.  Your school will be fine.[/quote]
