[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]There is pretty much no one going to RHPS now for whom it would be a burden to go to the new MS. For most people it would be closer, for some it might be halfway and for a few it might be slightly closer to Westland, but I don't see how going to the new school would be a burden. [/quote]

Totally disagree.  I live in Chevy Chase and the new MS site is really far away from my house and in a direction I would never drive otherwise.  [/quote]

Exactly, we really need to unlink NCC and CC ideally which is why there are options like #3.[/quote]

I actually think 5 is the best.  [/quote]

If you think that MCPS is going to put all of the poor kids in the cluster in the same middle school, you haven't been paying attention.[/quote]

Technically all the poor kids go to the same middle school now don't they? And why is creating a desirable highly rated and functioning middle school that will draw more upwardly mobile people to the area a bad thing? The new school will still be above avg and attract people who look to avoid Silver Spring schools and Westland might finally make a run at Pyle in terms of performance. Combined with logistically what is best for most everybody and minimal bussing it seems like a no brainier to me.[/quote]

Since minimal busing is the RCF goal, maybe CCES should feel that way too., send CCES to Westland with Westbrook, BE and Somerset.  We are geographically closer to Westland and the school has more capacity for 4 schools than the new middle.   NCC, Rosemary Hills and Rock Creek Forest take all the poor kids that are geographically closer to the new middle which will have more room to grow with the PL.    You all will have a sky high Farms rate but seems you are ok with that.  Quit using and abusing CCES kids to  artificially lower farms rates of schools that are not anywhere close to their community and are in fact in entirely different towns!  Since you all want to play ball, let's do the really fair thing and give our community a break.  We do our part.  Someone else step up.[/quote]
