[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Some data from the MCPS schools at a glance website: in 10 years the district has gone from 22% free lunch to 34%. [/quote]

Montgomery County has positioned themselves for only the rich who can afford private and don't need county services and the poor.  They don't want the "middle" class/income families and are running them out.[/quote]

I tend to agree except a lot of the rich are leaving as lower income families are moving into more expensive neighborhoods and making it work. I live in the WJ district and a Latino family bought a small rambler a few streets away. I am talking 1000 sq ft max at about $450K. They added a second level and a couple bump outs and now there are a couple more families (relatives?) living in there with them. Lots of older cars parked on the street. I would really think twice about where you purchase - so far the Potomac area and parts of bethesda seem to be safe - but everywhere else - you better like diversity and speak a couple other languages so you can communicate with your neighbors. No incentive for non English speaker adults to learn how to speak English.
