I don't think that it has had such a dire result in Janney or Mann (in DCPS).  It seems like people have accepted it, and perhaps it has attracted a highly-motivated group of parents to stay in DCPS.

[b]It's important to persuade high-income people to stay in MCPS. [/b] I am not exaggerating when I say that a lot of people I know in Bethesda/Potomac want a smaller school system where they can have more impact.  For example, Arlington and Falls Church each have their own school districts.  How about something similar for Bethesda/Potomac? [/quote]

First I'd like to see some evidence that high-income people are not staying in MCPS, and that this is due to class sizes.[/quote]

We're working on leaving.  For now we're doing private.  My son has an IEP.  The biggest accommodation he needs is smaller number of human beings in a physical space.  He does not need other services and he is on grade level academically.  MCPS cannot meet his special education needs.  They offered all sorts of alternatives in an attempt to meet the need but it's useless.  The funny thing is that his needs aren't really special.  He has anxiety and gets overwhelmed easily and then shuts down.  In a small class size he functions beautifully.
