[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I really don't understand the outrage over the Super's recommendation. ALL of the feeding elementary schools are excellent schools! They had to get divided somehow, and this rec seems to make the most geographic sense FOR THE KIDS, to minimize their commutes and keep neighborhoods together for a sense of community, being able to arrange school/social get togethers, etc. The only way to get an exactly even divide of the number of students between the schools would have been to split individual elementary schools to feed to separate middle schools, and I can't see any good in that. The future overcrowding concern is a real concern - but it exists for both middle schools along with many other middle schools in the County. Let's keep site of the fact that all of the affected kids will be at one of two excellent middle schools with involved parent support and relatively low farms rates (and, as a negative, relatively little diversity) compared to the rest of the County.

The outrage is over the immediate overcrowding at the new middle school. If the convenience of students is most important, then they should let elementary school students attend their home school and not require busing to RHPS. [/quote]

Could CCES and NCC even accomodate the addition of grades k-2 in their current buildings? Unless so (which I doubt), then RHPS is a separate issue and I have no doubt that the uber organized Chevy Chase parents will get that next on the MCPS agenda. [/quote]

Sure, if RHPS also turned into a K-5 school. [/quote]
