[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]We are in the SCES/SSIMS/Northwood pyramid. Didn't see any logic in trying to bet on high school boundaries with a kid this age (6). Great neighborhood.

My only dissatisfaction w/it is that SCES is MUCH more affluent than ESS and has issues typical of undiversified affluence. [/quote]

This is a good point. SCES has a much lower FARMS rate than any school surrounding it:

Sligo Creek: 9.9%
East Silver Spring: 52.2%
Oak View: 69.0%
Highland View: 48.4%
Pine Crest: 49.1%
Flora Singer: 43.1%
Woodlin: 29.5%[/quote]

Depending on your point of view, this could also be seen as an advantage....[/quote]

Of course it could. It usually is seen that way. I think we all know why, but apparently not all of us are aware how wrongheaded it is. [/quote]

Everyone has a limit, I don’t see you jumping to send your kids to New Hampshirite estates elementary. While I will concede at the elementary level it makes less of a difference at some point many of poor kids grow up to be problems. At what level does FARMs impact school quality, most sociologists say it is way lower than most of those levels. I’ll let you use your kids to prove them wrong [/quote]

Both my kids attended a focus elementary that had around 35% FARMS and did great. THey went through what is now called CES and both HS and MS magnets. [/quote]
