[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]RM doesn't belong in this comparison if you are comparing schools. It's over crowded with poor test scores despite having magnets. [/quote]
Yes because RM has poor kids and the other schools don't.  Ripe for boundary redrawing. What will W parents do when more poor kids come into their schools and bring down the test scores?  I guess you will move to private because the poor kids might infect your kid and bring down your kid's test scores.[/quote]

I would prefer lower test scores as it makes it less stressful and of course the smart but not perfect kids will be ranked higher. That said, I don’t want all the fights, sex in hallways, anti-semitism, and asylum seekers with a 3rd grade education in my school to get those higher ranks.

Churchill boundaries won’t be changed. They already have every low income area in their area and there really isn’t any others  around them. [/quote]
Um.. ok <5% FARMs is nothing compared to neighboring RM with about 20% FARMs.  But I guess to people like you, the few FARMs students you do have is enough, and you don't want more.[/quote]

Take Twinbrook, which was once a nice area now turned into El Salvador, out of the equation and RM farms would be just the same as Churchill. You can’t bus past multiple schools and break up massive boundary lines. Churchill won’t change [/quote]
Have you even been to TB? Talk to families from that area?  I have as part of the RMES#5 boundary study. It's no little El Salvador.  Just lots of non white blue collar families.  I guess that's "El Salvador" to you, though. Oh, and there are some white families there, too, who seem happy to be there. Shocking, I know.

And MCPS can do whatever it wants. Wootton and Churchil have split articulation in the middle school now with part of Cabin Johh MS going to Wootton and another part going to Churchill. I can see the same happening in the RM cluster because of the overcrowding at the HS level.

Clearly you live in a bubble because there are currently *several* neighborhoods where they get bused past closer under enrolled schools to another school -- 5 school buses from Fallsgrove community are much nearer to two under enrolled ES, but get bused to RPES (used to be overenrolled but is no longer due to Rustin ES opening, but Fallsgrove still is zoned for RP).

Here you go OP.. if you have a similar mindset to the above PP, then go to Churchill.  [/quote]
