[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]OP here.  Thanks for the responses.  Not looking to start a discussion on race.  We live here, we like living here, the diversity is all part of that.

But, regarding test scores check the SAT scores (1800 at Wootton but only 1500+ at Rockville), see the % that go to college, etc.  I can read this stuff online.  But I want to know about the other stuff -- the test scores only tell part of the story.  As one PP pointed out, "It is a fact (not opinion) that schools with high Hispanics have poor test scores compared to others - which equals more help needed in class, which equals your kids gets the shaft."  Another posted talked about how more FARMS students brings more resources.  These are both the types of things I want to know about.  What kinds of resources? The student to teacher ratios are very similar in just about all the schools I looked give or take one or two students.  Also, thoughts on the specific schools are especially appreciated too!

I'm looking for info on this cluster too.  Also Meadow Hall ES- I know it doesn't get as good test scores as Barnsley, but class sizes are small, which I like.  Anyone have personal experience there?  Most of our friends with kids are in Silver Spring or NoVA, don't really know anyone in Rockville.[/quote]
