[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]MCPS sets school boundaries (i.e., school assignments) based on walkability above all else. They pay lip service to a commitment to socio-economic and racial diversity in all schools, but since this cluster is hugely divided on both counts (mainly along Connecticut Ave rather than Wisconsin), any school on the eastern side of the cluster will have a much higher minority population (i.e., ESOL burden) and a much less wealth (i.e., kids who can't afford tutors, outside music lessons, less financial contributions to school activities, etc). [/quote] If MCPS values walkability above all else, how did they end up with the current Westland boundaries? Westland isn't even inside it's own boundaries. I have a friend who lives in an apartment building which borders Westland, literally shares a border. She's zoned for Pyle/Whitman. [/quote]
