[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]There is poor and moderate income that feeds into Churchill. Townhouse communities. Moderate single family. Not every Churchill kid comes from a River Road mansion. [/quote] The percent of students on FARMS at Churchill is 5.3%. (So it's more diverse than Whitman, where the percent of students on FARMS is [u]<[/u]5.0%.) The percent of students on FARMS MCPS-wide is 35%. The percent of students on FARMS at Wheaton is 59%. To qualify for FARMS, a household of four people must have an annual income of $43,568 or less. (And yes, there is a poor community that feeds into Churchill -- Scotland, one of Montgomery County's historically black communities, founded by freed slaves. Scotland was there before Potomac.)[/quote] Again, the cheapest available apartment that we found for Churchill was more than we were paying for a SFH in the DCC. Maybe no one showed us any properties in Scotland because of stereotypes?[/quote]
