[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Cynically, they created the DCC to entice UMC/MC parents not to leave the area for "better" schools. Happily, the area in-bounds for various DCC high schools is large and diverse and often a great place to live.[/quote] That’s not my understanding. I was told that the DCC is the most transient part of MoCO so rather than redraw boundary lines every year, these lottery/fake magnets help them keep numbers even between schools from year to year. [/quote] Both those reasons sound reasonable. They are hardly fake magnets. About half the magnets are criteria based not lottery and students need good grades and test scores. The applicant pool is still competitive, albeit smaller than for the ones that have larger catchment areas. The west side schools don't have a monopoly on smart kids you know.[/quote]
