[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Yes, it is unfair. We live in Kensington, but are zoned for Newport Mills. However, children living in Silver Spring will be able to attend B-CC middle school.[/quote]

Yes, but aren't some of the Silver Spring kids practically as close?  It's all one school district and one county, so no one should have "dibs" on a certain school just because their town shares a name with another town.

No, we can safely walk to the new school but cannot safely walk to Newport Mills without crossing Conn. Ave.  We also don't have a lot of sidewalks to walk to Newport Mills, vs. we do to walk to the new school.  No one in Kensington is going to the new school that is built in our community.  We will have to deal with all the traffic and noise for something that has no benefit to our kids.[/quote]

The school is within the neighborhood of Rock Creek Hills, which is in Kensington. Many of the kids in the BCC Cluster have a "Kensington" address and will attend the new middle school. Other than the Town of Kensington (which is in the WJ cluster), I don't know of any other "Kensington" addresses that are really within "walking distance" with sidewalks that lead to the new middle school.[/quote]

Much of Kensington has limited sidewalks.  We have asked for them many times and keep getting refused.  It was a 5 year battle just to get a street light.  We are in walking distance.  It would be a longer walk but easily doable.[/quote]
