[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Practically speaking, nobody was interested in commuting to/from Sherwood and down county schools. Have you driven down Georgia Ave during rush hour? It literally took me 45 mins this morning to get from the heart of Olney to HC hospital. It would easily be 60+ minutes to use other roads to get to most NEC schools.

Plus, holding up Blair as a model of diversity is ridiculous. It’s two schools largely segregated by race thanks to the specialty programs created to keep white students from leaving. Google that history. Ask students who attend Blair who aren’t in the special programs. [/quote]

PP, are you aware that MCPS has two consortia? The one we are talking about is the [b]Northeast[/b] Consortium.

Yes.

While Blake is nearby, Paint Branch and Springbrook are not.

As an Olney resident, I can report that most parents opt out of the HGC and middle school magnets because of the long commute. Traffic is a big issue.

Sherwood has always had a small town feel. Those of us who grew up in MoCo remember when it used to be rural out there not too long ago (it’s not anymore). A lot of parents and grandparents went to Sherwood. While the area has diversified, it’s still really small town. There are lots of sahms out here, and the whole vibe is very different from other parts of the county.

Do you run into dozens of people you know at the local grocery store? Does your entire neighborhood go to Sherwood or GC football game every weekend? Do all the parents from school hang out at one of the (many) local beer farms on certain nights? (It’s literally like a high school reunion each week; we’re still drinking in fields, but enjoying craft beer instead of beast). [/quote]

Not sure if that's what you intended, but you're actually supporting the narrative that the Sherwood HS community is insular, non-inclusive, and non-diverse.[/quote]
