[quote=Anonymous][quote] don't know think Twinbrook by itself accounts for 15% of RM FARMS rate.

TB accounts for close to 50% of all the ESs FARMs rate. So if you take TB out, RM FARMs rate would still be above 5%.

It's hard to really gauge because RM FARMs rate doesn't equate to the total FARMs rate of all the ESs since the ESs have 6 grade and RM only has 4. If you add up all the FARMS of all the ES, it's about 30% of the population. But RM FARMs rate is about 20%; JW is about 23%.

More than likely, CG (only 13% FARMs), which is part of RM would be rezoned to Crown. So, even with TB moving to Wootton, the FARMs rate at RM could actually stay about the same. RP and Beall combined have a FARMs rate of about 23%. Obviously some of this will be off since Bayard has openend, but it won't be that far off.

But I agree about the homes in FG. I feel the same way.[/quote]

So if CG and Twinbrook move out of RM who ends up going to RM? If RP and Beal both have 11.5% FARMS isn't RM now down to 11.5% - how does this make RM more balanced. Isn't the goal to get schools up to 30-40% FARMS? [/quote]
