[quote=Anonymous]Swapping Damascus with QO does not make any sense if MCPS is trying to increase equity--Damascus has a lower FARMS rate than QO (42% vs 50%), using SY23–24 figures. In region 5, all schools except QO are over 60% FARMS. In region 6, the only school above 60% FARMS is Seneca Valley. With Crown being redesignated as a holding school, MCPS needs to rethink the schools within these regions: region6 would have an enrollment of 9714 compared to region5's 7884. Having such a skewed FARMS and URM population between the two regions is inequitable. Is MCPS trying to create a ghetto? On top of that, excluding high-FARMS region 5 from being able to access Poolesville's established and renowned SMCS seems wrong. Those interested in attending SMCS would have to do so at a new one that would be set up at Gaithersburg HS. And we all know how it turned out when MCPS "expanded access" with the IB program Watkins Mill. [/quote]
