[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Rachel Carson is 160% over, yet they still bus in kids from Governor Sq apartments all the way down from Muddy Branch.  [/quote]

I don't understand the "yet". Is the attendance of these children at Rachel Carson less legitimate than the attendance of other children? Where do you think they should be going to school instead?[/quote]

How about Fields Rd ES, which is 1 mi down the road.  RC is 4 mi north.  All the neighborhoods in between are zoned for either Fields or Dufief.  This just doesn't make sense.[/quote]

I am guessing it is to spread out the SES, since RC is mostly madeup of the pricey Kentlands area.[/quote]

Which is not fair.  No offense but the school was built FOR the Kentands and Lakelands area.  They knew there were going to be a lot of kids in that area when they built it.  To add even more kids to make the SES numbers better and keep the school at double the capacity is insane.  There are TWO under-capacity schools closer to them that they can go to.  No one in walking distance to an elementary school should get moved because of SES numbers.  MCPS has got to come up with a better plan.  [/quote]
