[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I'm not sure who anyone thinks they are fooling, but the reason people move out of the &quot;Blair&quot; cluster and move into the B-CC cluster is in search of a more 'homogeneous' student body.  I say that as someone who is in the Blair cluster and who has been very happy in the schools.  However, I watch parents trip all over themselves making excuses as to why other clusters are 'better' based on nothing.  It is parents concerned that they might not be in a majority-white school.

But also remember, some parents move within silver spring, not just to the BCC, to avoid certain schools.  Some of the schools in silver spring are &gt;90% Farms, and I think that, as opposed to race, is the off-putting statistic.  Whether high poverty is a valid reason to seek out another school is a question not everyone is going to answer the same.  And it's a question some parent conveniently never face, because their schools have relatively balanced demographics.[/quote]
