[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Wouldn't restricting it to only DCC schools increase segregation within the DCC? This is already a big problem.

Whites and Asians still out score and apply to magnets exponentially more than AA and Latino students everywhere including the DCC. If you look at the demographic trends, the hispanic population is growing faster in the DCC than other cluster areas. This means fewer whites and asians within the DCC boundaries to spread around to all the schools. [/quote]

I think the Hispanic population in North Bethesda aka Rockville and Gaithersburg far exceeds that of the DCC.[/quote]

Gaithersburg and Silver Spring are fairly comparable at around 25%. Rockville is a few percentiles lower. Takoma is about half of SS and Kensington is about half of that (similar to Bethesda). The point is the DCC is made up a range of different areas much like the county and gross generalizations aren't helpful.[/quote]

You are right the DCC isn't a place like Bethesda or Rockville but a collection of several unrelated places so the generalization kind of fails.[/quote]
