[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]You'll find the most diversity (in the superficial racial sense) at Murch, the wannabee M that its boosters keep trying to attach to JKLM.[/quote]

Just curious, why shouldn't "Murch" be attached to JKLM?[/quote]

NP.  Some people correctly point out that, if there can be only one /M/, it should probably be the M school with the higher scores, the better facility, and the higher SES parent body.     The clear winner there is Mann.     However there may be two /M/ schools in Ward 3.    If so, then there's no reason not to throw in Murch.   Whose facility is overcrowded, whose parent body is less [u]uniformly[/u] high income, and, oddly, whose standardized test scores have fallen every year for the past several years, to the point that they're now lower than a bunch of other schools.

As a neighborhood parent, that last point is the most compelling one.  Especially because current Murch parents publicly and proudly announce that they don't care.  See previous DCUM threads.

This is bizarre.  What's behind Murch's tumbling scores?  And why would the parents profess not to care?[/quote]
