[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote]the current plan for the middle school, both of which would pull lots of kids from lower income parts of Silver Spring and Kensington.[/quote]

OK, please. I have a child at RHPS. The parts of Kensington that are in the RHPS/NCCES configuration currently are Rock Creek Hills and Chevy Chase View. They are by no stretch of the imagination "lower income" and are arguably the nicest areas in Kensington and are nicer neighborhoods than many in Bethesda. The parts of Silver Spring are the neighborhood immediately surrounding Rosemary Hills, where every house costs more than $450K, and a few nearby apartment complexes where I assume incomes are lower. It's true that there will be a boundary study and the outcome is uncertain at this point, but there is no proposal to move wide swaths of other parts of Silver Spring and Kensington into the already overcrowded B-CC cluster. The kids that OP is complaining about are already at RHPS, which is a fantastic school with an incredibly dedicated staff and involved parent community.[/quote]

Yeah, Rock Creek Hills and Chevy Chase View are real low income neighborhoods - NOT.  Most of my neighbors are either lawyers, doctors, research scientists or economists.  I don't think the OP would like her kids going to school with the likes of our kids.  The people who moved to these neighborhoods appreciate large lot sizes, the proximity to the Beltway, downtown and several Metro stations, the BCC cluster and yes, diversity.  Therefore I don't think you'd like living in the part of Kensington (Rock Creek Hills and Chevy Chase View) served by the BCC cluster. [/quote]
