[quote=Anonymous]I don't think this is any different to how TPMS, Eastern and Poolesville operates.  We did our research when we bought our house, and one of the reasons we chose RM was specifically for this reason.  We were coming from out of state, and I gathered all this from my research.

Different schools have different pros/cons.  W schools have the wealth; title 1 schools have more resources.  RM, Rockville, Poolesville - they don't have the wealth, but they are not "poor" enough to get additional resources.  I think it's great that each school has something to offer those in the cluster. It's one of the great things about MCPS.

Many parents would rather have their kids go to W cluster schools than RM because of the "undesirables" at RM.  That's fine.  Then hopefully such parents are not the ones complaining about the unfair magnet application.

Is it "fair" that certain schools have test in magnet programs such that the other kids have to take a 1 hour bus ride to get there while the local kids don't have to -- and btw my DC did have to do this for the ES magnet.  Wouldn't it be "fair" if *every* school had a magnet program?  Unfortunately, MCPS doesn't have that kind of money.[/quote]
