Ok, question - is the issue of hugely different populations such a big thing in MoCo that it's worth going through contortions to integrate them?  I'm asking mostly out of ignorance as someone relatively new to the area.

[b]This is generally a pretty well off area, right?[/b]  Does it really matter if some schools have a slightly higher percentage less well-off parents than others?

In MCPS overall, 35% of students (more than 1 in 3) are on free or reduced meals (FARMS), and 43% (more than 2 in 5) either currently are on FARMS or have been in the past.

At Whitman High School, the numbers are [u]&lt;[/u]5% and [u]&lt;[/u]5%.

At Bethesda-Chevy Chase High School, the numbers are 12% and 20%.

At Einstein High School, the numbers are 45% and 67%.

At Wheaton High School, the numbers are 54% and 74%.

Now, back to your question: [i]Does it really matter if some schools have a slightly higher percentage less well-off parents than others?[/i] What do you think?
