[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Three years ago, Viers Mill had universal free lunch for one year. That is why they have greater than 95% for "now or in the past" FARMs. Literally every kid (including the PEP classes for 3yos, meaning some current K) who was there in the 2023-24 school year is counted in the percentage.

I've been a VM parent for 10 years. Nobody I've heard from here wants to go to WJ. For many reasons. VM families have been happy mostly with Wheaton/DCC, and most people seem reasonably okay with Woodward.

The VM community is super tight and protective. Maybe [b]it feels like WJ is racist/classist/whatever[/b], but mostly I think it's that those feeder schools operate in completely different worlds.[/quote]

Then it's super important for area to change this by not segregating them. It will be helpful for WJ community to increase diversity. Otherwise we will get another Whitman where racism has become a norm.[/quote]

I mean yes, from the superintendent's POV. But don't expect VMES families to enjoy being known as the literal diversity hires, and integrate another school at the expense of their own community.[/quote]
