[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous] Yes, that's true. A variety of income levels, ranging from not-poor to rich. At Wood Acres ES, the FARMS rate (the percent of kids now on FARMS) is [u]<[/u]5%, and the ever-FARMS rate (the percent of kids who have ever been on FARMS) is [u]<[/u]5%. Wood Acres is 72% white, 10% Asian, 8% Hispanic, [u]<[/u]5% black. I'm glad you're in MCPS; it's true that the facilities at Wood Acre don't compare to (some) private schools; but the fact remains that Wood Acres ES is a public school for kids whose parents can afford it -- and many, many parents in Montgomery County can't. For comparison, in MCPS overall: FARMS: 35% Ever-FARMS: 43% White: 32% Asian: 14% Hispanic: 27% Black: 21%[/quote] Yeah, and what's the FARMS rate at your private? 0% you say? thought so.[/quote] I'm the PP. I have two kids in a MCPS public school with a FARMS rate just under 20% and an ever-FARMS rate just over 20%.[/quote]
