[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][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]

Who told you that?  How would that even work, given that anyone can rank their home school #1 and be guaranteed it?[/quote]

I don't think the PP meant exactly even but I can see how the choice process and speciality programs would help redistribute students to areas that are less populated. DD has told me a large percentage of classmates go to choice programs, not their home school. At least a third, maybe more. I'm sure MCPS has released that information somewhere.[/quote]

I think that PP doesn't know what she's talking about.  These programs are trying to keep people in this part of the county, period.  And I live there!  But I'm not naive to how many people view the DCC schools, either.[/quote]
