[quote=Anonymous]The Crown/Decoverly side is definitely a more affluent area in terms of those that attend Rosemont so I am not surprised it doesn't move the needle much in terms of numbers/Farms. There are not a ton of Rosemont students on the Crown side. More come from the other side of 270/Frederick and those Farm rates are higher. The Rio side goes to Fallsmead and the lines to get on that bus are huge. I think more kids go there then to Rosemont. Also, looking around the Crown area in the Spring, I see many more "proud graduate of Wootton" signs as well as those for private high schools. I don't recall ever seeing one for Gaithersburg HS.

I sort of question the effects tables.

For Option H, it's saying moving the Crown/Decloverly/Rio area that currently goes to Rosemont to the new Crown School won't really change Gaithersburg HS's numbers:

2031-32 projection: 2497-&gt;2456
FARMS: 49.6 pct-&gt;49.5 pct
EML: 27.8 pct-&gt;28.5 pct

Then for Wootton/Crown absorbing that area:
2031-32 projection: 1937-&gt;1999
FARMS: 14 pct-&gt;14.8 pct
EML: 3.1 pct-&gt;3.3 pct

Are there really that little amount of students in the Crown/Decloverly/Rio area?

Then the current Rosemont boundaries looks like it's a couple of islands and the school has 62.4 percent FARMS.

If the resulting FARMS numbers don't change that much for the high schools, are they pulling from the nonFARMS population of Rosemont to send them to the new Crown school?  Or are the numbers so small that they just get absorbed by the larger high school numbers/population?  According to mdreportcard at Rosemont 354 out of the 567 students are eligible for FARMS.[/quote][/quote]
