Not mentioned above is that Cabin John is 11.6% black.    In fact, the demographics of Cabin John look something like America (73.3 white, 12.6 black, 5.2 Asian) except the Asian population is much larger at about equal expense of both white and black.     So one could say that Cabin is even more similar to the demographics of the world.

Rather than say that MCPS only cares about American blacks and Hispanics, maybe it is better to say that [b]MCPS wants all its school to have the mean demographics of Montgomery county[/b].   As for myself -- perhaps because I grew up in New England -- I have no loyalty to a county.     I am a Rockvillian, a Marylander and an American but to me Montgomery county is just a boundary line.[/quote]

Alternatively, when you're discussing demographics at MCPS schools, it makes sense to look at MCPS demographics, rather than Montgomery County demographics, or New England demographics, or US demographics, or world demographics.

MCPS overall demographics for middle school: 14.8% Asian-American, 21,4% black, 29.2% Hispanic, 29.8% white, [u]<[/u]5.0% more than one, 8.9%  ESOL, 32.7% FARMS, 45.5% ever FARMS, 11.2% mobility rate.
Cabin John MS: 31.6% Asian-American, 11.6% black, 7.8% Hispanic, 42.8% white, 6.1% more than one, [u]<[/u]5.0% ESOL, 7.2% FARMS, 13.5% ever FARMS, [u]<[/u]5.0% mobility rate.[/quote]
