This is absurd and a complete straw-man.  The real issue, which has been spoken many times, is that people are afraid they will be moved to a lower performing school, not that kids from a lower performing school will be moved to their school.  The former will have real economic consequences for many families, split kids from their friends, and [b]simultaneously rob parents of the choice they made for their kids school when they chose to live in a certain area[/b].  The later will do none of that, and other than internet trolls I have heard a total of zero actual concerns about moving kids from lower performing schools into higher performing schools.  Conversely [u]everyone[/u] talks about the later because its much easier to demagogue the issue in terms of racism then it is to criticize parents who don't want to be wiped out financially and want their kids to go to the school they expected when they chose a neighborhood.

The information and maps this application provides are only a guide to MCPS school assignments. The information provided is unofficial. MCPS has made substantial efforts to ensure the accuracy of the information. [b]However school service areas are subject to change. [/b]Also school assignments may be unreliable for residents in new subdivisions or residents near a school service area boundary.
