[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]We are prime candidates for white flight, but I don't think a shift from 19 percent to 22 percent is going to be the tipping point.[/quote]

But is it fair to add 4% poverty to a high minority school, bringing them up to 22%, while you're simultaneously reducing poverty at a wealthy white school from 6% to 3%? The end game is 3% poverty in one school and 22% poverty in another, nearby school. It moves us in the wrong direction, and it could just be the first step. Why wouldn't all Chevy Chase residents wage a similar fight to go to their closest school (CCES or even Somerset) instead of the RHPS/NCC pairing?

We didn't even discuss the poverty shift at NCC, which will double under Option 5.[/quote]

Well, we could do, but I don't really care that much. I am very happy with Rosemary Hills. Any problems come from overcrowding rather than the poors. The bus ride is the favorite part of my kids' day. And I dont think a marginal change in enrollment data is going to change anything.[/quote]
