[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I agree with much of what the overutilization poster is saying, but agree that the discussion here has gone off the rails. I understand why RCF supports Option 7, I understand why it had appeal for the superintendent -- but I still think it was the wrong choice. And I think it's creating a backlash within the communities that have largely supported the unique arrangements for RHPS.

But our kids, our neighborhoods, deserve equitable treatment by the County. If the Superintendent doesn't want to bus RCF to achieve diversity, then he is going to face significantly greater opposition to busing our K-2 kids for that reason.

Maybe that's not accidental. I've heard people wondering about the prospect for reverting to neighborhood schools; NCC was just expanded and as of next year it will shrink by losing the 6th grade to the new middle school. Maybe the plan all along is to shift CCES & NCC back to K-5 as with every other Bethesda elementary school?[/quote]

I'm just curious, what would be the FARMS/URM percentage at RHES if there was no bussing?  I'm under the impression that the disparity would be far greater than what we are seeing with either of the two middle schools so would like to know if this is a valid comparison.[/quote]

You're probably right. The by going from Option 1 to Option 7, the FARMS rate goes up from 9.7% to 15.4% at B-CC MS #2, and drops from 11.3% to 5.1% at Westland.[/quote]

I'm not sure if you understood my question...  Using the data you provided 15.4% is the highest FARMS we see at a school from either middle school option.

If RHES did not have kids from CCES and NCC what would be the percentage of FARMS at RHES?[/quote]
