[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote]based on what? the whole area is getting less white as we speak. maybe not the kentlands but other areas.[/quote] That's the point why QO is more at risk. QO is one of the few schools that is getting more white and UMC. Combination of growth around the Kentlands/Lakelands and families deciding to stay rather than go to private school or move south into Wootton or Churchill districts. The rest of the county is getting poorer but QO is on track to become a top ranked school like the Ws in 5-10 years unless MCPS intervenes. [/quote] No I mean the QO area is getting less white except kentlands. Take a look at Brown Station, Jones Lane, and Fields Road. Only the kentlands is staying white, so I disagree that QO is getting whiter. No way. [/quote] I actually took the time to look up a few data points on MCPS's website. This is where we live as well and based on observation I couldn've told you the area around QO is getting more diverse (not less). enrollment: 2008 - 49.57% white 2013 - 45,6% white 2017 - 40.1% white Not PP, but live in the area. Our community has definitely not gotten any more diverse over the past 20 years, shockingly. The smaller percent in whites at QO is the rapidly growing hispanic population in the Brown Station and Fields Road ES areas which is why QO is so overcrowded. The white population has been steady if not growing. It's just that the Hispanic one is growing at a much faster rate. So QO may not be the target that you think it is.[/quote][/quote]
