Not sure we can say that NW and Clarksburg are segregated schools
 Those schools are one of the most diverse on the county.[/quote]

Hallie Wells MS: 17% FARMs
Rocky Hill MS: 22% FARMs
Neelsville MS: 63% FARMs
Roberto Clemente MS: 33% FARMs (that's with both magnet programs)
MLK MS: 48% FARMs
Kingsview MS: 20% FARMs
Lakelands Park MS: 23% FARMs

Clarksburg HS: 27% FARMs (that includes Fox Chapel ES (58% FARMs) and Daly ES (71% FARMs))
Seneca Valley HS: 37% FARMs
Northwest HS: 24% FARMs

Yes, we can say that they're segregated. Or, in any case, segregated enough that the affluent parents want the poor kids to go somewhere else as much as possible.

Look at the current service area maps:

http://gis.mcpsmd.org/ServiceAreaMaps/SenecaValleyHS.pdf
http://gis.mcpsmd.org/ServiceAreaMaps/NorthwestHS.pdf

And the argument the affluent parents will make [i]in public[/i] for segregated schools will be geographic proximity and community schools. In private, I'm guessing that the main argument will be property values, followed by gangs.[/quote]

Please provide any evidence that busing will accomplish the goals of decreasing the achievement gap?

Where it does work -

"Families can choose to apply to magnet schools, attend their neighborhood school, or sign up for a busing program to other districts."
