Wouldn't restricting it to only DCC schools increase segregation within the DCC? This is already a big problem.

Whites and Asians still out score and apply to magnets exponentially more than AA and Latino students everywhere including the DCC. If you look at the demographic trends, the hispanic population is growing faster in the DCC than other cluster areas. This means fewer whites and asians within the DCC boundaries to spread around to all the schools.[quote]

Where are you getting that information? WJ, QO, Wootton and RM clusters all have much lower AA and hispanic numbers than the DCC schools.

Gaithersburg HS has a high % of hispanics and a growth tend. The hispanic population is predominantly growing around Germantown/Gaithersburg, Wheaton and Silver Spring. Blair's own demographics for whites, AA and asians have stayed about the same over the past 10 years but the hispanic population has increased by 30%. Other DCC schools have seen a decline in whites. Kennedy has had the highest growth in the hispanic population but all the other DCC schools have seen large increases too.

The trend is pretty clear. The DCC is getting less white, more hispanic and just holding onto its AA and asian residents. So if the magnets continue to attract mostly whites and asians from all the DCC schools, the diversity at the other DCC schools will slide down quicker if more spots open up. [/quote]
