[quote=Anonymous]Unfortunately, it's not possible for MCPS or any school system to build schools that are all perfectly equidistant from one another and serve the exact population that lives within a 1 mile radius of the school. There are very limited funds for building school additions, so sometimes they do funky things with school boundaries to maximize the space in each building. In addition, they increasingly aim to use school boundaries to reduce segregation by income and race/ethnicity. You say that the schools are all similarly rated. It's likely the school you are zoned for would have a lower rating than it currently does if they did not assign families from your neighborhood to it, because the ratings often reflect the demographics of the school.
