[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]The problem in MOCO is that the area is economically segregated. At Blair the poor kids are AA and hispanic, the MC/UMC kids are white, the magnet kids are asian American and white. There are very few AA students in the magnet programs. The kids stay within their SES and academic cohort groups. You might as well be at Churchill or Whitman. The same is true at non-magnet schools like QO. The poor kids are AA and almost all the wealthy kids are white or Asian Americans. UMC AA parents find themselves being in a very small minority in all MCPS schools and many decide to go private as well. PG attracts many more UMC and MC AA families but the schools outside of the TAG programs are a problem so many people do private school.[/quote] Not true. The magnet programs are <500 students out of 3,200+. There are ~1200 White or Asian students.[/quote]
