[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I can't imagine that the ESOL kids at Somerset are from low-income families.  Even the rental apartments in the area are $$$. Are they kids of diplomat and World Bank families?[/quote]

There are lots of ESOL kids at Somerset who aren't low income, and there are quite a few low-income families who aren't ESOL. Your biases are showing.

In any case there is actually a good bit of below market rate housing within the existing somerset boundary, see eg:
https://www.thefieldsbethesda.com/incomerequirements
https://barclayandfairfax.com/floorplans/
https://aldonishome.com/property/aldon-of-chevy-chase/

Many but of course not all of the kids who qualify for FARMS live in these complexes.

I sometimes do food deliveries to families in these buildings who are food insecure. You wouldn't know these complexes were there necessarily.... They're on side streets. if they're not on your radar it might be worth driving by / walking through them so that you have a better sense of the range of housing and means in our community.[/quote]

All of you Somerset apologists sound ridiculous. The FARMS rate is 7%. That is not "quite a few families". It is 40 kids out of a school of 582.[/quote]
