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

MCPS never said you’re guaranteed your home school. They say something like “95% of students get their first choice”. [/quote]

If your first choice is your home school, then yes, you are guaranteed your home school.[/quote]

That’s not what MCPS told us. And if you live in the DCC and try to use the phrase “home school” with any MCPS staff in central office they will correct you. [/quote]

They may not say the phrase "home school," but the meaning is the same. Here is the actual language they use:

"Students are guaranteed assignment to their base area high school if (1) the base area school is indicated as the first choice on the Choice form or (2) indicated as second choice and the first choice school is not available."
