[quote=Anonymous]Its not that complicated. When boundaries are drawn they try to include at least a few disadvantaged neighborhoods for each school so the test scores won't be out of wack. For some high schools the boundary line for another school come right up to a few streets from the first school. Look at Wootton's lines. They go all the way up Route 28 and if it wasn't for the trees kids who go to Wootton could see Quince Orchard. On the other hand Quince Orchard's boundary lines go way east on Muddy Branch Road, at least five miles from the school, and people who attend QO can see Gaithersburg H.S. from their apartments. Just about every high school has this gerrymandering except for Whitman that does not have a disadvantaged area unless you want to include the few houses left on Carver Rd. Even Churchill has an area (Scotland0 that helps to lower their scores a bit.[/quote]
