lol - diversity at Cabin John?

MCPS cares about FARMs, ESOL, sped and minority status.  In many cases, there is overlap (quite a bit) with the aforementioned categories.

Cabin John MS
ESOL - under 5%
FARMs - 7.2%
SPED - 14%

white - 42.8%
Asian - 31.6%
a sprinkling of Hispanics, blacks and mixed races

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 MCPS wants all its school to have the mean demographics of Montgomery county.   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]

[b]the goal of MCPS is to eliminate the achievement gap.  You do that by spreading out the higher and lower performers equally to all schools so everyone floats to the mean.  The goal is to have average schools everywhere no more good or bad schools[/b][/quote]

Although this would have tremendous benefits, it will also cause he short-sighted bigots to riot.
