The at a glance numbers (a little out of date at this point) show Whitman and Churchill at less than 5% FARMS, WJ at 7.5% and  BCC at 11.1.  I am not sure what it would accomplish to move one bus of kids from Churchill to Whitman.  In the Seneca Valley study, the Superintendent worked to reduce the FARMS disparity among the HS clusters in the cluster and not make transportation changes that would cost the district a lot of money.  If the same criteria applied, they'd be trying to equalize the numbers in those 4 clusters at about 7.1% - [b]hardly a problem number.[/b][/quote] What is a problem number for FARMS?[/quote]

You mean what’s the magic number MCPS will aim for to redistribute the FARM kids to other schools. I dunno, what’s overall fARMS here, 30% or 40%? Then that’s their bussing goal. Mix up the kids until every school is 40% farms.

It will be like utopia for Cental Office and Board. But 10 years later they’ll wonder why scores are down everywhere, no one knows squat, and college AdComs know MCPS sux. C2.0 kids are now juniors and seniors so they’ll see the quality drop there and then again as serious students leave and schools/teachers spend more time “assimilating” students than teaching them.[/quote]
