[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]What will the point of paying premium money for that part of Silver Spring if you end up not really being in the BCC cluster except for High School.  [/quote]

Why would the new middle school be less "in the BCC cluster" than Westland?

Other desirable clusters have multiple middle schools, all of which are considered part of the cluster.  [/quote]

Think of it this way, some eastern schools where picked up and thrown a bone by court order to integrate BCC. [b]So while you had to still go to your basically Silver Spring elementary school you would spend the majority of you focused years in a high wealth and expectations environment for middle and high school. Those houses that where blessed with BCC in turn get a measurable value bump. Now most of those kids will now go to a silver spring elementary, a middle class silver spring/Kensington middle school and will only mix with the affluent kids for a couple of years in high school. [/b]

At which point after spending the past decade with their own socioeconomic piers and clicking up when they do finally mix with the east county kids I suspect it will be harder than it already is for them. Seems waste to spend the extra money just for high school.

Yes it will be the BCC cluster but the kids will only see the true Bethesda/Chevy Chase kids for a few years at the end of their schooling. [/quote]

I have a feeling you have absolutely no idea of what you are talking about. Do you even live in the cluster?[/quote]

Are you referencing Rock Creek Forest?    I think the poster is saying instead of RCF going to Westland, they will split off and be mixed in with NCC and CCES in middle school which will be more middle class than Westland?  Then they will only experience "high wealth and expectations" at BCC?
