[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]We are in the SCES/SSIMS/Northwood pyramid. Didn't see any logic in trying to bet on high school boundaries with a kid this age (6). Great neighborhood. My only dissatisfaction w/it is that SCES is MUCH more affluent than ESS and has issues typical of undiversified affluence. [/quote] This is a good point. SCES has a much lower FARMS rate than any school surrounding it: Sligo Creek: 9.9% East Silver Spring: 52.2% Oak View: 69.0% Highland View: 48.4% Pine Crest: 49.1% Flora Singer: 43.1% Woodlin: 29.5%[/quote] Sligo Creek ES is less diverse than neighboring schools, but a lot of that is due to the immersion program. About 40% of the kids in the school are in French Immersion, and the program skews whiter and wealthier than the norm for eastern MoCo. Remove the French kids, and Sligo Creek looks more like the neighborhood. It would still be white than ESS and Oak View, but it would look more like Woodlin. [/quote]
